NOVEMBER 10TH, 2020 Researchers at Penn State have developed an implantable sensor that can measure levels of NO and NO2gases in the body, both of which are medically relevant. Consisting of silicon and magnesium, the sensor is flexible and completely biodegradable, and so does not need to be removed after implantation. Measuring levels of NO and...
ANDREW STAPLETON Scientists have developed a thin flexible battery suited to implantable devices that does away with dangerous chemicals and replaces them with biologically compatible liquids. The bendy batteries use sodium-based liquids – one a saline solution and another using cell cultures – and this innovation could change how we power wearable devices and even...
