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.

Drawing inspiration from butterfly wings, reflective fibers woven into clothing could reshape textile sorting and recycling.

J-WAFS researchers are using remote sensing observations to build high-resolution systems to monitor drought.

A 3D-​printed insole with integrated sensors will allow real-time measurement of the pressure of the sole of the foot right in a shoe.

A new system enables makers to incorporate sensors into gears and other rotational mechanisms with just one pass in a 3D printer.
