A Chip-Free, Wireless Electronic "Skin"

Wearable sensors are ubiquitous thanks to wireless technology that enables a person's glucose concentrations, blood pressure, heart rate, and activity levels to be transmitted seamlessly from sensor to smartphone for further analysis. Most wireless sensors today communicate via embedded Bluetooth chips that are themselves powered by small batteries. But these conventional chips and power sources will likely be too bulky for next-generation sensors, which are taking on smaller, thinner, more flexible forms.

Bacteria May Hold Key for Energy Storage, Biofuels

Bioengineers are trying to solve a big problem: How to build a low-cost, environmentally friendly and large-scale system for storing and retrieving energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Currently, there are no sustainable methods for storing green energy, as batteries are environmentally toxic.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Treat Adolescent Migraine

electroCore Inc received clearance from the Unites States Food and Drug Administration of the company's submission to expand the label of gammaCore nVNS to include the acute and preventive treatment of migraine in adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age.

3D Printing is Helping Doctors Further Personalize Care

3Today, 3D printing is being used for everything from jewelry creation to producing food.

Artificial Intelligence Boosts MRI Detection of ADHD

Deep learning can boost the power of MRI in predicting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Researchers said the approach could also have applications for other neurological conditions.

Electrospun Fibers Weave New Medical Innovations

Electrospinning was invented in 1902 and was first applied to textiles in the 1930s. But only now are researchers realizing its full potential.

Sweat holds most promise for noninvasive testing

Making a revolutionary biosensor takes blood, sweat and tears. And saliva, naturally.

Clothing that can charge your cell phone, carbon is the new black

Engineers are leveraging a partnership to create clothing that can charge your cell phone. Move over, Iron Man.

Biosensors will be inexpensive, do more, go everywhere

When it comes to biometric sensors, human skin isn't an ally. It's an obstacle. Researchers are developing cutting-edge methods to overcome this barrier without compromising the skin and its ability to prevent infection and dehydration. By making better noninvasive tests, researchers can open up enormous opportunities in medicine and the fitness industry.

Biosensor stimulates sweat even when patient is resting and cool

One downside to medical sensors that test human sweat: you have to sweat. Sweating from exertion or a stifling room temperature can be impractical for some patients and unsafe for others.

Tricky landing uses fuzzy logic

The buzzword in drone research is autonomous — having the unmanned aerial vehicle do most or all of its own flying.

Wearable captures and senses sweat biomarkers

Sweat derived from eccrine glands in human skin contains valuable information about physiological performance and dysfunction. Importantly, sweat data can be captured discreetly and non-invasively.

2015

Supercapacitors record breaking performance for self-powered wearables

The NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies develops and employs nano-enabled energy harvesting, energy storage, nanodevices and sensors to create innovative battery-free, body-powered, and wearable health monitoring systems.

E-paper displays in consumer electronics

E Ink is the only supplier of electrophoretic displays that are used in e-readers such as the Amazon Kindle.

Electronic Band Aid to measure body performance through sweat

Creating "fuel gauges" for Airmen is the goal of a group of researchers at the 711 Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Discovery to make solar power less expensive and more efficient

Researchers are reporting early results on a way to make solar-powered panels in lights, calculators and roofs lighter, less expensive, more flexible (therefore less breakable) and more efficient.

E-paper displays in consumer electronics

Consumer electronic devices are evolving fast and there is a constant need for display technologies with new features. This week we look at e-paper (reflective) display technologies and assess their strengths in the consumer electronics market.
