Electrodes coated with DNA could enable inexpensive tests with a long shelf-life, which could detect many diseases and be deployed in the doctor’s office or at home.

By leveraging reflections from wireless signals like Wi-Fi, the system could allow robots to find and manipulate items that are blocked from view.

Researchers from SMART DiSTAP developed the world’s first near-infrared fluorescent nanosensor capable of monitoring a plant’s primary growth hormone in real-time and without harming the plant.

Researchers used microneedles to inject fresh-cut crops with melatonin and delay spoilage.

With a novel simulation method, robots can guess the weight, softness, and other physical properties of an object just by picking it up.

Professor Thomas Peacock’s research aims to better understand the impact of deep-sea mining.

Researchers showed they can inexpensively produce silk microneedles to deliver vitamins or agrochemicals to plants.

A new approach could enable intuitive robotic helpers for household, workplace, and warehouse settings.

MIT engineers developed ultrathin electronic films that sense heat and other signals, and could reduce the bulk of conventional goggles and scopes.

These bacteria, which could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, could act as sensors to help farmers monitor their crops.
