Tiny biobattery with 100-year shelf life runs on bacteria

“Watson College Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi aims to make fuel cells for portable, storable and on-demand power generation. Last fall, Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi and his Bioelectronics and Microsystems Laboratory published their research into an ingestible biobattery activated by the …

CDs to flexible biosensors: Researchers discover easy, inexpensive upcycling method

“Since 1999, more than 9 billion music CDs have shipped in the U.S. That’s not counting worldwide sales, DVDs, software discs or videogames. Sadly, discarded CDs end up in landfills with negative environmental consequences. New research from Binghamton …

New biobatteries use bacterial interactions to generate power for weeks

“As our tech needs grow and the Internet of Things increasingly connects our devices and sensors together, figuring out how to provide power in remote locations has become an expanding field of research. Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi — a faculty member …

Map integrity: Researchers explore ways to detect ‘deep fakes’ in geography

“Can you trust the map on your smartphone, or the satellite image on your computer screen? So far, yes, but it may only be a matter of time until the growing problem of “deep fakes” converges with geographical information science …

Watson Researchers Create Better Material For Wearable Biosensors

“Biosensors that are wearable on human skin or safely used inside the body are increasingly prevalent for both medical applications and everyday health monitoring. Finding the right materials to bind the sensors together and adhere them to surfaces is also …

Liquid Metal Research Invokes ‘Terminator’ Film — But Much Friendlier

“Watson team uses new lattice material to create models that regain shape after being crushed Pu Zhang likes to compare his team’s research on liquid metals to the Terminator — specifically 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day, in which a …
