Engineers build a battery-free, wireless underwater camera
MIT researchers develop a battery-free, wireless underwater camera that is 100,000 times more energy-efficient than other undersea cameras.
This tiny spectrometer breaks all current resolution records
We see light and colors around us every day.
However, to analyze the information it carries, we must analyze light using spectrometers, in the lab.
These...
