Transparent biosensors in contact lenses

Posted on by Haptic

Transparent biosensors embedded into contact lenses could soon allow doctors and patients to monitor blood glucose levels and a host of other telltale signs of disease without invasive tests. Scientists say the bio-sensing lenses, based on technology that led to the development of smartphones with more vivid displays, also could potentially be used to track Read more about Transparent biosensors in contact lenses[…]

Eggshell nanoparticles could lead to expanded use of bioplastic in packaging materials

Posted on by Haptic

Eggshells are both marvels and afterthoughts. Placed on end, they are as strong as the arches supporting ancient Roman aqueducts. Yet they readily crack in the middle, and once that happens, we discard them without a second thought. But now scientists report that adding tiny shards of eggshell to bioplastic could create a first-of-its-kind biodegradable Read more about Eggshell nanoparticles could lead to expanded use of bioplastic in packaging materials[…]
