A new design tool uses UV and RGB lights to change the color and textures of everyday objects. The system could enable surfaces to display dynamic patterns, such as health data and fashion designs.
By snugly wrapping around neurons, these devices could help scientists probe subcellular regions of the brain, and might even help restore some brain function.
“MouthIO” is an in-mouth device that users can digitally design and 3D print with integrated sensors and actuators to capture health data and interact with a computer or phone.
The newly synthesized material could be the basis for wearable thermoelectric and spintronic devices.
Associate Professor Jeehwan Kim is exploring systems that could take over where silicon leaves off.
Adaptive smart glove from MIT CSAIL researchers can send tactile feedback to teach users new skills, guide robots with more precise manipulation, and help train surgeons and pilots.
The sticky, wearable sensor could help identify early signs of acute liver failure.
Thirteen new graduate student fellows will pursue exciting new paths of knowledge and discovery.
The low-cost FibeRobo, which is compatible with existing textile manufacturing techniques, could be used in adaptive performance wear or compression garments.
StructCode, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, encodes machine-readable data in laser-cut objects by modifying their fabrication features.
Grants fund studies of honeybee tracking, glass building materials, and defining excellence in human movement.
Developed by MIT researchers, BrightMarkers are invisible fluorescent tags embedded in physical objects to enhance motion tracking, virtual reality, and object detection.
MIT engineers developed organic polymers that can efficiently convert signals from biological tissue into the electronic signals used in transistors.
A system for monitoring motion and muscle engagement could aid the elderly and athletes during unsupervised physical rehabilitation for injuries or impaired mobility.
