Advances in wearable devices have enabled e-textiles, which fuse lightweight and comfortable textiles with smart electronics, and are garnering attention as the next-generation wearable technology.
Scientists report that they have developed conductive inks that allows users to "write" circuits almost anywhere — even on human skin.
Rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in about 30 seconds following the test, has had successful preliminary results.
Researchers have developed a highly sensitive wearable pressure sensor for health monitoring applications and early diagnosis of diseases.
Engineers at Duke University have developed the world's first fully recyclable printed electronics.
Researchers at University of Sydney have developed a new moisture test for bionic devices such pacemakers and cochlear implants.
Researchers have developed a method to produce graphene-enhanced hydrogels with an excellent level of electrical conductivity.
By embedding nanosensors in the fibers of a bandage, researchers have created a continuous, noninvasive way to detect and monitor an infection in a wound.
Researchers have developed a new approach to printed electronics which allows ultra-low power electronic devices that could recharge from ambient light or radiofrequency noise.
Researchers have designed and produced a smart electronic skin and a medical robotic hand capable of assessing vital diagnostic data.
Scientists have developed an AI system that recognises hand gestures by combining skin-like electronics with computer vision.
Researchers have used printed, ultra-thin, and highly sensitive nanocomposite sensors for the treatment of patients in whom the blood sugar level is abnormally high (diabetes mellitus).
Sensors that have the potential to make aircraft safer could also be used to improve the lives of diabetics and those who rely on prosthetics.
The first demonstration of a fully print-in-place electronics technique is gentle enough to work on surfaces as delicate as human skin and paper.
Nanotech-powered electrodes help solve the challenges of using sweat to assess biological conditions in real time.
Engineers use carbon nanotube composite coatings for novel sensors that could enable smart textiles.
Scientists have developed new nanotube biosensors using synthetic biology, which improves their sensing capabilities in complex biofluids, such as blood and urine.
Scientists have developed new virtual reality cloud-based tools to help academics and industry progress new drugs, materials and boost the teaching of chemistry.
“The antifungal application could prove invaluable among those highly susceptible to infection, such as the elderly, hospitalized or disabled patients.”
