Well-funded 4-year position to studyfor a PhDat Linköping University on “ Intelligent nanobioreactors for auto-switchable bio-catalysis” for use inbiosensors and biological fuel cells
It's been a while since we reported an unusual story, but the development of a contact lens which projects information into the wearers field of view has to qualify. Researchers at the University of Washington and Aalto University Finland have developed such a device, which could be connected to a biosensor to project, for example, a diabetic's blood glucose level.
Where has this year gone already? Most of the plans we had to develop Sensor100 have been derailed by one or more obstacles, but nil desperandum, we will move on to fight another day, or year.
