Innovation May 20, 2016 MIT researchers create 'Cilllia' -- a sensor-filled 3D-printed hair Thinking small, the Tangible Media Group at MIT's Media Lab bucked the trend that bigger is better, using their 3D printing skills to produce a micro-pillar hair they call Cilllia. The 50-um hair can detect changes in the environment and even respond to touch.
Innovation May 10, 2016 MIT researcher's artificial skin will make you look 10 years younger A team of MIT researchers has developed an artificial skin that could make you look years younger. Besides its potential for cosmetic use, researchers hope to use the second skin in a variety of medical applications.
