By Adam Zewe | MIT NewsWearable devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers interact with parts of our bodies to measure and learn from internal processes, such as our heart rate or sleep stages. Now, MIT researchers have developed wearable devices that may be able to perform similar functions for individual cells inside the body.

By Adam Zewe | MIT NewsExperimental computer memories and processors built from magnetic materials use far less energy than traditional silicon-based devices. Two-dimensional magnetic materials, composed of layers that are only a few atoms thick, have incredible properties that could allow magnetic-based devices to achieve unprecedented speed, efficiency, and scalability.

What if we had tiny machines in our body that could constantly monitor every nook and cranny of our body, and if any anomalies are found, fix them locally? This could put an end to human diseases and even augment us, surpassing biological limitations. Deblina Sarkar is building such tiny nanoelectronic devices, which are even smaller than the size of a single cell. These devices can reside inside the cells or in between cells and lead to early detection of diseases.
