Biosensing

MIT researchers have introduced a groundbreaking biosensing technology called OCEANs, utilizing tiny, wireless antennas to monitor electrical signals in biological systems with remarkable precision. This innovation simplifies cellular studies and opens up new possibilities for diagnosing conditions like arrhythmia and Alzheimer’s.

The antennas convert electrical signals into light, which can be captured using standard optical microscopes, making this technology accessible to any biology lab. This breakthrough enables real-time, high-resolution monitoring of cellular interactions from thousands of recording sites simultaneously.

Focused on precision, the OCEANs can detect electrical signals as low as 2.5 millivolts and respond in milliseconds.
