X-ray cameras designed by MIT astrophysicists are a key component of a new instrument aboard an orbiting Japanese observatory that will probe the secrets of such phenomena as exploding stars. Recently ...

While seabed-located cameras are great for tasks such as monitoring wildlife, powering them and retrieving their photos can be challenging. That's where a new MIT-designed camera comes in, as it ...

After a long time of work, engineers at MIT now have an underwater camera without wires. In addition, this camera also does not need a battery. This device will help scientists easily explore ...

A project at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory has developed a sensor chip suited in particular to enhanced imaging of neural activity. Described in Nature Communications, the chip ...

Engineers with MIT have created a wireless, battery-free underwater camera that can operate autonomously for long periods of time. The device, which the engineers detailed in a study featured in the ...

Most established methods for underwater imaging require tethering for power and communication, making them less suitable for long-term in situ observations. A project at MIT has now developed a ...

For decades, traditional cameras worked very much like the human eye: the cornea served as the lens cover, the iris and pupil became the aperture, and the lens became, well, the camera lens. But human ...

Sept. 26 (UPI) --Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said Monday they've developed a prototype battery-free camera for underwater use, which they said could help monitor the ...

Many scenes you point a camera at are doomed to result in a crappy picture. Either the background is blown out, or the foreground is too dark. It’s a limitation of every camera sensor. MIT is working ...

Designed for undersea use, the device could operate autonomously for weeks. MIT researchers have developed a battery-­free, wireless underwater camera that is about 100,000 times more energy efficient ...

If you thought slow-mo videos of watermelons being exploded by bullets and chubby, jowled faces recoiling from slaps was as good as it gets, think again: MIT Media Lab has created a camera-and-laser ...
