Engineers at MIT are developing a way to turn the humble RFID tag into a light-powered sensor for the internet of things. Based on thin-film perovskite cells, the goal is to create inexpensive, ...

The icky business of soiled diapers has motivated many to pursue connected nappies that alert carers when they’re in need of changing, but scientists at MIT are now putting forward a more cost ...

In context: Radiofrequency identification (RFID) has become ubiquitous in the digital age. It is used in stores to make no-touch purchases with our credit cards or phones. Car rental agencies have ...

A research team at MIT has created a clever new way for drones to use RFID technology in warehouses for stock-keeping purposes. It lets companies use much smaller, safer drones to find stuff in giant ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Media Lab has completed its testing of a radio frequency identification system known as TurboTrack. The lab’s researchers say the solution could ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a set of augmented reality (AR) glasses with a built-in RFID reader and antenna to help users identify items within their ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a drone-based RFID system which would allow drones to read and identify tags from feet away in order to monitor and locate items more efficiently. This would ...
