Ultra-Thin Gold Sensor for Direct Use on Skin Without Irritation, Discomfort Developed by Researchers
Researchers in Japan have developed a unique, gold-spun, ultra-thin sensor that can be placed directly on the skin without causing any irritation or discomfort to the wearer. The sensor can evaluate different biomarkers or substances to perform body chemical analysis. It relies on Raman spectroscopy, a technique where laser light aimed at the senso...
