Boston University College of Engineering professor Xin Zhang and her research collaborators have developed a new, 3-D metamaterial that has the potential to improve MRI imaging of the human brain. The spherical structure can be worn like a helmet, and change size to create images more quickly and at a higher quality – ultimately improving MRI functionality while reducing costs.
