Want to get more mileage out of autonomous vehicle testing? Mcity, which bills itself as one largest test sites for driverless cars, is advocating for a new approach that combines augmented reality (AR) and real-world driving scenarios as a highly effective roadmap for the rigorous testing of autonomous vehicles, according to a white paper released late last year. The paper,…

Glucose monitoring is critical for diabetics. In the past, they had to test their glucose via painful finger pricks or using embedded sensors under their skin. There are now biosensors that measure glucose levels in sweat, which are less painful and invasive, but these flexible sensors are typically created via screen printing, a process that is wasteful and relies on…
