Researchers develop flexible carbon nanotubes that be worn on your finger
In an article in NanoWerks, Japanese researchers successfully tuned carbon nanotubes in order to create terahertz detectors that can flex and wrap around body parts. Their results could lead to the eventual use of terahertz electronics in wrap-around devices, wearable technologies, and photonic devices that cover large areas. Carbon nanotubes are a type of carbon […]

Researchers develop high-speed electronics using graphene
Is there anything graphene cannot improve? Swedish researchers recently used the wonder material to enable electronics that work at terahertz speeds. In an article in Chalmers Microtechnology and Nanoscience Department News, they combined graphene transistors and plastic substrates to create a malleable electronic detector that detects terahertz radiation. The graphene-based detector is the first of […]

Next-gen contact lenses designed to be “wearable holograms”
In the near future, contact lens might become self-powered wearable tools that can diagnose your health based on your tears. That is because U.K. researchers have found a way to print nanostructure “holograms” on their surface that turns the lenses into “smart” electronics, an article from Nano Werks states. Human tears contain biomarkers that provide data […]

Researchers create 3D printer that works directly on human skin, could be used to print temporary sensors
Who needs wearable electronics when you can print them on your skin directly? That is the thinking that drove Minnesota-based researchers to customize a 3D printer so that it can put sensors and other temporary electronics on human skin, an article on Phys.org stated. Using the skin of anything alive as a printing surface is difficult […]

Researchers develop organic solar cell patches that are so thin they can be heat-printed onto shirts
In a few year’s time, you could be wearing an efficient solar cell on your clothes that is just as thin, light, and flexible as a T-shirt design. In a report from The Mainichi, a Japanese research team recent showcased a new ultra-thin organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell that can be heat-printed onto fabric. The new […]

Skin sensor made from stretchable electronics could revolutionize stroke recovery
Stroke patients and physicians can get live and accurate readings of the patient’s recovering body thanks to newly-developed stretchable electronic sensors. Science Daily reported the new bio-sensor is small enough to be worn outdoors, rugged enough to function during therapy sessions, and precise enough to be used for advanced medical care. The device is the latest concept of John […]
