Australian engineers at Monash University have developed a stretchable skin that can be used to monitor a wide variety of medical conditions. The electronic skin contains sensors that send signals to smartphones. The thin bandaid-like ?wearable skin? is made from gold and is highly stretchable. The wearability of the electronic skin means it can be used to track a range of health issues, including blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels. www.sbs.com.au/news/australians-develop-new-wearable-skin-to-monitor-health-conditions?
A special service has recently started at the New York Public Library Riverside branch to offer help when residents need it ahead of a job interview, graduation or other formal event. They can borrow up to two ties and one briefcase or one handbag for a three-week period, and all they need is a New York Public Library card. https://www.metro.us/news/local-news/new-york/new-york-public-library-ties-briefcases-handbags
Researchers from St. John's College, University of Cambridge, have discovered a new way to utilize energy from the sun and turn it into fuel that could directly compete with fossil fuels. The researchers used semi-artificial photosynthesis to explore new ways to produce and store solar energy. They used natural sunlight to separate hydrogen and oxygen. This research could revolutionize the way we are currently utilizing the sun for renewable energy production. Their method was able to absorb even more solar light than the natural process of photosynthesis.
