Pop-up sensors based on the Japanese paper art of kirigami are ideal for pressure sensing because they can take repeated compressions.

"We wanted to create a technology that is reliable and user-friendly so that patients can easily self-monitor their blood urate levels."

A tiny sensor chip smaller than a ladybug detects vibrations from sounds inside the body. It could warn of heart failure or lung problems.

CSAIL's Conduct-A-Bot system uses muscle signals to cue a drone’s movement, enabling more natural human-robot communication.

Comfortable, form-fitting garments could be used to remotely track patients’ health.

Automated tools can help emergency managers make decisions, plan routes, and quantify road damage at city scales.

New work on quantum entanglement could "improve the performance of any application that requires a network of sensors," researchers report.

Fiber optics make sense for monitoring earthquakes because "cities already have it as part of their infrastructure, so all we have to do is tap into it."

Study shows that a simple urine test can reveal the presence of lung cancer in mice.
