Could plastic have a rival in a combination of wood fibres and spider silk?

The unique material outperforms most of today’s synthetic and natural materials by providing high strength and stiffness, combined with increased toughness. Achieving strength and extensibility at the same time has so far been a great challenge in material engineering: increasing strength has meant losing extensibility and vice versa. Now Aalto University and VTT researchers have

Now you can sweat it and have your sweat monitored

Needle pricks not your thing? A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, is developing wearable skin sensors that can detect what’s in your sweat. They hope that one day, monitoring perspiration could bypass the need for more invasive procedures like blood draws, and provide real-time updates on health problems such as dehydration
