Desiree Plata's research focuses on developing technologies and strategies for environmental sustainability.

The system measures biological and environmental changes, and detects contact between the mask and the wearer’s skin.

The device could help scientists explore unknown regions of the ocean, track pollution, or monitor the effects of climate change.

A new field study reveals a previously unobserved fluid dynamic process that is key to assessing impact of deep-sea mining operations.

Design from the Swager Lab uses electronic polymers, rather than colored lines, to indicate a positive response, enabling quantitative monitoring of biomarkers.

An MIT-developed device with the appearance of a Wi-Fi router uses a neural network to discern the presence and severity of one of the fastest-growing neurological diseases in the world.

The device senses and wirelessly transmits signals related to pulse, sweat, and ultraviolet exposure, without bulky chips or batteries.

Engineers 3D print materials with networks of sensors directly incorporated.

Cheap and quick to produce, these digitally manufactured plasma sensors could help scientists predict the weather or study climate change.

Neuroscience professor and Science Hub investigator Ted Adelson explains how simulating the sense of touch with a camera can make robots smarter.
