Tiny Biosensor Unlocks the Secrets of Sweat
Sweat: We all do it. It plays an essential role in controlling body temperature by cooling the skin through evaporation. But it can also carry salts and other molecules out of the body in the process. In medieval Europe, people would lick babies; if the skin was salty, they knew that serious illness was likely. […]
This Blood-Sampling Cytometer Is Small Enough for Mars
The race for Mars is on. NASA hopes to land the first Martian in the next decade, and the agency’s not alone: The China National Space Administration, Indian Space Research Organization, and Russia’s Roscosmos, as well as Elon Musk’s SpaceX have similar aspirations.Yet the trip to Mars a long journey, filled with questions about how […]
Tiny Sensor Aims to Monitor Tumors in Real Time
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.A tiny sensor could one day be placed next to tumors to monitor patients’ responses to cancer in real time. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco, described a prototype sensor in a […]
Blink to Generate Power for Smart Contact Lenses
The potential use cases for smart contacts are compelling and varied. Pop a lens on your eye and monitor health metrics like glucose levels; receive targeted drug delivery for ocular diseases; experience augmented reality and read news updates with displays of information literally in your face. But the eye is quite a challenge for electronics […]
Tiny Biosensor Is Just a Cup, a Membrane, and a Magnet
A wireless, chipless prototype biosensor offers the prospect of simple, wearable tech that can continuously monitor blood-sugar levels and other biochemical and physiological markers. The system pairs an implanted, magnetic biosensor with a miniature, wearable device that relays the sensor’s magnetic signals to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The implant is smaller than most pencil erasers. […]
