A physician and nanoengineers at UC San Diego have successfully tested a noninvasive skin patch prototype that monitors blood glucose levels, a daily requirement for many persons with diabetes. The patch is thin, lightweight, easily applied and removed, and works…

New threads: Nanowires made of tellurium and nanotubes hold promise for wearable tech
Wearable tech requires both strength and flexibility. A new nanowire design — a boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) filled with tellurium atomic chains — holds promise for electronics triggered by light and pressure. In collaboration with Purdue University, Washington University and University of Texas at Dallas, Michigan Tech physicists created and tested the new nanowire alongside carbon nanotubes.
