A team of researchers in Singapore has come up with a tiny, micrometer-thin battery that can store energy from human tears to power smart contact lenses. If inventors ever arrive at a viable prototype ...

One of Verily’s first projects was to make contact lenses that could detect glucose levels from teardrops. Less invasive than fingertip blood pricks for people living with diabetes, the Alphabet ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...

Constructing power sources on these types of contact lenses is challenging because the power device must be mounted on the restricted area of the lens without obstructing the vision. Power-generation ...
