The usefulness of spiders is expanding beyond insect control, and into the biomedical realm. Learn how researchers in Taiwan are turning spider silk into optical fiber sensors to potentially boost point-of-care diagnostic devices.
Researchers at MIT are taking notes from a century-old color photography technique, adapting it to produce large, vivid images that stretch. Explore how the team’s variation of this method could change the development of devices like wearables and robots.
What if we could see through objects or around corners? A team in California is trying to make it happen. Find out how a non-line-of-sight imaging method they’ve developed could make autonomous vehicles safer and robotic space exploration more effective.
