"Revolutionizing Vision: Graphene's Role in Smart Contact Lenses"

Nobel Laureate Konstantin Novoselov, co-creator of graphene, and a team of scientists have discovered unique properties in two compounds, ReSe2 and ReS2, which belong to the same family of 2D structures as graphene. These materials have the potential to revolutionize various applications, including smart contact lenses for extended reality, optical devices, machine-learning computers, and laser-based blood tests. The discovery, published in Nature, could lead to advancements in healthcare, AI, and augmented reality, with the potential to enhance human color perception and enable faster and cheaper blood testing for diseases like cancer and COVID.
