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 containĀ biomarkers that provide data […]

Novel “gut-on-a-chip” recreates the intestinal matrix to allow nutritionists to understand how our gut works
Studying the complex human gut could become much easier thanks to a new biochip. In a Newswise article, the latest refinement of this “gut-on-a-chip” can provide an accurate simulation of the intestinal matrix. The gut is made up of billions of human cells and an even larger number of microbes from different species. These two […]
