Wearable sensors are becoming a promising tool in personalized healthcare and exercise monitoring. In a recent study, researchers develop a novel wearable chemical sensor capable of measuring the ...

(A) Schematic of CA definitions: θ (surface parallel), θa (advancing), and θr (receding) on a 90° inclined plane. CAs provide insights into hydrophilicity and wettability. (B) Sensor materials: CNTF ...

Sweat does more than just cool down an overheating body. Measuring the chemical makeup of an individual's sweat—specifically the levels of chloride, a chemical component of salt—can serve as an early ...

Could chemicals in our sweat be the next thing activity trackers start to measure? Researchers are ramping up efforts to refine this technology so they can. Many of us already wear some form of ...

Each thought or action sends a million electrical signals pulsing through your body. At the heart of the process of generating these electrical impulses is the ion channel. A new study by researchers ...

Over the past few years, scientists have been eyeing sweat as the next breakthrough avenue for wearable devices. So far, the tech hasn’t seen commercialization from the likes of Apple or Samsung, but ...

The transport of ions is essential to maintain electrophysiological balance on either side of the membrane, called osmotic balance, which is needed for signals to be transduced from their chemical ...
