New research from the Signal Kinetics research group is featured on "Science Without the Gobbledygook"

Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder discusses X-AR, the new research from the Media Lab’s Signal Kinetics group.

Tara Boroushaki, a PhD student in the Signal Kinetics group, explains how she's combined AR and wireless signals to find hidden objects.

The device could help workers locate objects for fulfilling e-commerce orders or identify parts for assembling products.

On Curiosity Unbounded, Professor Fadel Adib, head of the Signal Kinetics group, talks to MIT President Sally Kornbluth about his work.
