In Nature Communications, the Signal Kinetics research group (@mit_sk_lab) presents a battery-free, wireless camera for underwater imaging, which has potential applications in climate change monitoring, ocean exploration, weather prediction, pollution tracking, and food security. “One of the most exciting applications of this camera for me personally is in the context of climate monitoring,” says group head Prof. Fadel Adib (@fadeladib). “We are building climate models, but we are missing data from over 95 percent of the ocean. This technology could help us build more accurate climate models and better understand how climate change impacts the underwater world.” Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2022/battery-free-wireless-underwater-camera-0926 or link in profile.
