Smart Contact Lens Monitors Blood Sugar
Summary Researchers at Stanford University and POSTECH have developed a smart contact lens that monitors blood sugar levels through a chemical reaction involving glucose in tears. The lens uses a combination of gold and platinum nanoparticles embedded in a polymer hydrogel to catalyze this reaction, producing electricity proportional to glucose levels. This technology offers continuous, […]

Molecular Strategy Enables High Performance of Elastic Skin-inspired Electronics
Summary A Stanford University research team, led by Professor Zhenan Bao, has developed a novel strategy for creating flexible, stretchable, and durable skin-inspired electronics using a molecular design approach. The team introduced the covalently-embedded in-situ rubber matrix (iRUM) strategy, which enables high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) with stretchable polymer semiconductors and dielectrics. This innovation ensures that […]
