Researchers aim to develop tiny robotic sensors to detect bowel cancers, the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK. Armed with cutting edge terahertz imaging, the sensors could be used in colonoscopies or even to detect skin tumours, allowing for diagnosis in situ without having to wait for biopsy results.
Researchers will develop new technology to allow children to experience nature through their smartphones by ‘feeling’ textures such as feathers, fur and tree bark.
