Simple urine test developed by MIT engineers uses nanotechnology to detect dangerous blood clotting.
Technique allows tiny sensors to monitor small changes in magnetic fields, such as when neurons transmit electrical signals.
Nanoparticles that enable both MRI and fluorescent imaging could monitor cancer, other diseases.
New instrument is small enough to function within a smartphone, enabling portable light analysis.
Biochemical sensor implanted at initial biopsy could allow doctors to better monitor and adjust cancer treatments.
MIT researchers team up with Boston Medical Center and Philips to test a noninvasive way to measure intracranial pressure.
New sensor could help anesthesiologists place needles for epidurals and other medical procedures.
