- Scientists have developed an ultra-thin battery for smart contact lenses that can be charged by tears.
- Lee Seok Woo drew inspiration from a “Mission Impossible” movie to create batteries for smart contact lenses, aiming to make them a reality.
- The battery, at 0.2 mm thickness, can be powered using a biocompatible saline solution or a chemical method.
- The battery can reach 80% capacity after eight hours of chemical charging and can be powered by tears due to the presence of glucose in tear solution.
- Despite low capacity and voltage at this stage, potential applications include glucose level monitoring for diabetic patients, with a focus on keeping costs low for commercialization.
