Research Stories
-
This tiny, biocompatible sensor may overcome one of the biggest hurdles that prevent the devices from being completely implanted.
-
A new surgical procedure gives people more neural feedback from their residual limb. With it, seven patients walked more naturally and navigated obstacles.
-
Leuko, founded by a research team at MIT, is giving doctors a noninvasive way to monitor cancer patients’ health during chemotherapy — no blood tests needed.
-
Three innovations by an MIT-based team enable high-resolution, high-throughput imaging of human brain tissue at a full range of scales, and mapping connectivity of neurons at single-cell resolution.
-
New camera chip design allows for optimizing each pixel’s timing to maximize signal-to-noise ratio when tracking real-time visual indicator of neural voltage.
-
This technique could lead to safer autonomous vehicles, more efficient AR/VR headsets, or faster warehouse robots.
-
A newly described technology improves the clarity and speed of using two-photon microscopy to image synapses in the living brain.
-
MIT CSAIL researchers enhance robotic precision with sophisticated tactile sensors in the palm and agile fingers, setting the stage for improvements in human-robot interaction and prosthetic technology.
-
The material could be made as a thin coating to analyze air quality in industrial or home settings over time.
-
The chip-scale device could provide sensitive detection of lead levels in drinking water, whose toxicity affects 240 million people worldwide.
