Wearable electronics

Mashable (New York City, Jan. 16) -- Move aside, Google Glass – smart contact lenses could the next big thing in wearable tech. Swiss scientists at ETH Zurich, a university focused on technology and natural sciences, have developed an ultra-flexible and transparent electronic circuit that could be used in the production of smart contact lenses. This development is a positive step forward, says U. of I. materials science and engineering professor John Rogers, a flexible-electronics expert. He says this research “suggests a bright future for such classes of electronic systems.”
