flag MIT invents wireless, light-sensitive antennas to monitor cell electrical signals, aiding disease research.

flag Researchers at MIT have invented a biosensing technique using wireless, light-sensitive antennas, called OCEANs, to monitor electrical signals in cell cultures without wires. flag These antennas, one-hundredth the width of a human hair, detect changes in electrical activity by altering how they scatter light. flag This method allows high-resolution monitoring of cell communication, which could advance the diagnosis and treatment of conditions like arrhythmia and Alzheimer's.
