Personalized health care could revolutionize traditional medical practice,” Gao says. Using built-in fuel cells, the device absorbed the lactate in the sweat and combined it with atmospheric oxygen to generate water and pyruvate. But to incorporate many different types of sensors, we need different material designs and tools.

He had discovered sodium, potassium, and several compounds and invented the. While reconstructing Ørsted's experiments, Faraday was not entirely convinced that electricity acted like a fluid, running through wires just as water runs through pipes. Davy, just 13 years older than Faraday, had already made a name for himself as a chemist.

The Electrome: The Next Great Frontier For Biomedical Technology

Cars That Think

It’s basically the reason they say you’re 66 percent water or whatever. This is like sieve water. It’s got sodium, potassium, calcium, etc., It doesn’t really like sodium so much. and these ions are charged particles. So when you’ve got a cell, it likes potassium, the neuron, it likes potassium, it lets it in.
