Brain-implanted electrodes have numerous uses, ranging from the controlling of prosthetic arms to the monitoring of neural activity. They could soon be more effective than ever, as scientists have now developed ones that are soft and squishy.Continue R… Continue reading Rubbery electrodes developed for better reading of the brain
For type 1 diabetics, regular injections of insulin are an unfortunate reality of life, necessary to keep their blood-sugar levels in check in lieu of a healthy pancreas. Scientists at MIT have developed a new type of implantable cell that could handle… Continue reading MIT’s “living drug factories” produce insulin from inside the body
In its current form, wireless charging technology isn’t much more useful than plugging in your phone – after all, the device still has to be in contact with the charger. But there’s plenty of ambient radiation just floating around in the air, and now r… Continue reading Graphene device could harvest Wi-Fi signals for wireless charging
Simulators have been used for years to train human drivers, pilots and astronauts, and now they’re being used to train self-driving cars too – and a new system developed by researchers at MIT could be the most promising yet.Continue ReadingCategory: Au… Continue reading MIT can now train self-driving cars in a photorealistic simulator
In many parts of the world the COVID-19 pandemic is causing shortages in hospital space, staff, medical supplies, and equipment. Severe cases may require breathing support, but there are only so many ventilators available. With that in mind, MIT is working on FDA approval of an emergency ventilator system (E-Vent). …read more

Ordinarily, self-driving cars use cameras and other sensors to “see” where they are on the road. However, what happens if the road markings are covered in snow? Well, MIT has developed a system that lets vehicles look beneath the asphalt instead.Contin… Continue reading MIT car-guiding tech sees beneath snow-covered roads
Bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics much faster than new drugs can be developed, potentially leading us to a dangerous future where infections are more likely to be deadly. Now, an artificial intelligence model has identified a powerful new… Continue reading AI system discovers powerful new antibiotic to tackle superbugs
The icky business of soiled diapers has motivated many to pursue connected nappies that alert carers when they’re in need of changing, but scientists at MIT are now putting forward a more cost effective option. The team’s new smart diapers make use of … Continue reading MIT’s 2-cent RFID tags sense soiled diapers on the cheap
Most of us know that to get the best possible WiFi signal, you want there to be as few walls as possible between you and the Access Point. But that might soon change, as researchers at MIT have found a way to make surfaces increase signal strength. Called RFocus, the …read more

Flaws in the blockchain app some states plan to use in the 2020 election allow bad actors to alter or cancel someone’s vote or expose their private info. Continue reading Hackers Can Seize Control of Ballots Cast Using the Voatz Voting App, Researchers Say
