"Ultra-Thin Battery for Smart Contact Lenses Powered by Tears Developed"

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University have developed an ultra-thin battery for smart contact lenses that can be charged using a biocompatible saline solution or even tears. The battery, which is about twice the thickness of a human hair, can reach 80% capacity after eight hours of chemical charging and can be used for a few hours. Although current voltage output is low, the team is working on improving the battery's specifications, with potential applications in healthcare for glucose monitoring.

"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.

"Revolutionary Battery: Saline-Powered Contact Lenses Unveiled by Scientists"

Scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a micrometers-thin, flexible battery that can be charged by a saline solution or human tears. The battery, made of biocompatible materials, does not contain wires or toxic heavy metals and has a glucose-based coating that reacts with sodium and chloride ions in the solution. This breakthrough could potentially power smart contact lenses, enabling features such as augmented reality and health monitoring.
