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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Parts of the ocean that have previously gone unexplored might soon become familiar. Engineers at MIT have built a wireless, battery-free underwater camera that uses sound to power deep-sea journeys.
