Okay, I have to admit: the bionic eye freaked me out. I'm trying to get used to it...
Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute and the University of California, Los Angeles, have developed ultrathin, flexible, metal oxide semiconducting thin films for use in wearable or implantable biosensors. The devices, which are made using a straightforward printing technique, could be used as sensors in non-invasive health monitoring applications like smart contact lenses that monitor a person’s glucose levels, for example.
