A collaboration between MIT and Miami-Dade County has students working with city planning officials to understand why people wait patiently for a bus — and why they bail.

A new surgical patch can seal wounds in the abdomen and send warning of potential leaks.

A new Jell-O-like material could replace metals as electrical interfaces for pacemakers, cochlear implants, and other electronic implants.

A new knitted fabric that senses contact and pressure could help robots to better interact with humans, researchers report.

Fifteen principal investigators from across MIT will conduct early work to solve issues ranging from water contamination to aquaculture monitoring and management.

A new computer vision system turns any shiny object into a camera of sorts, enabling an observer to see around corners or beyond obstructions.

A new system "will enable you to treat, for example, the whole surface of your body like an interactive surface," says Yasha Iravantchi.

Rather than start from scratch after a failed attempt, the pick-and-place robot adapts in the moment to get a better hold.

An electronic tattoo that attaches to the chest and has a battery the size of a penny could provide continuous heart monitoring.

Superconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures make them costly and difficult to use. Room-temperature superconductors promise to change that.
