When the light absorbers are made very small, almost all the device performance metrics improve—but doing this is easier said than done.
Results for "sensors"
A simple test detects post-surgery abdominal leaks
Enzymes embedded into a plastic strip enable the rapid, naked eye-detection of incompletely healed tissue following abdominal surgery.
Using machine learning, robotic feeding system empowers users with mobility issues
This robotic feeding system trained with machine learning will transform lives, giving independence to those with severe mobility issues.
