A Bug’s-Eye View
Researchers develop a new camera inspired by insects’ compound eyes Even though we’ve developed the ability to shrink down cameras to fit on a phone, the underlying principle of the camera itself hasn’t really progressed. As a camera gets smaller, there’s a trade-off between field-of-view and image quality; the larger the field-of-view, the more distorted […]
Yazicigil on Track to Monitor the GI Tract
“This is an ingestible sensor that will track and record the inflammation of the GI tract in a continuous and minimally-invasive manner, and especially tailored toward an individualized response for each patient’s disease,” said Yazicigil. Yazicigil’s team in collaboration with MIT is currently developing a mm-scale ingestible micro-bio-electronic device by leveraging the natural advantages of […]
