Chocolate’s tasty flavors might pose a risk in other desserts

This electrochromic film’s color and optical properties change when the electric potential goes from 0 to 0.8 to 1.6 volts: Green helps reduce glare, and red enhances thermal insulation.

Electrochromic films — like sunglasses for your windows?

When attached to eyeglasses, a clear, flexible sensor can detect how close eyelashes are to the lens, enabling blink tracking.

Flexible Sensor Detects Objects Without Touch, Enables Blink-Tracking Glasses

This “smart” contact lens could someday help measure eye pressure and send wireless signals to enable early detection of glaucoma.

Researchers Develop “Smart” Contact Lens to Detect Glaucoma Across Wide Temperature Range

To clean water, researchers have designed swarms of tiny, spherical robots (light yellow) that collect bacteria (green) and small pieces of plastic (gray).

Microrobots Clean Microplastics and Bacteria from Water

A waterproof e-glove makes it easier for scuba divers to communicate underwater.

Underwater “E-Glove” Translates Divers’ Hand Gestures into Messages

Researchers harvest more energy from waves by moving a liquid–solid nanogenerator’s electrode to the end of the tube where the water crashes.

A simple way to harvest more ‘blue energy’ from waves

This flexible and conductive material has “adaptive durability,” meaning it gets stronger when hit.

Hitting this stretchy, electronic material makes it tougher

Scientists Develop Carbon-Negative Decking Material That Helps Combat Climate Change

These soft materials (chicken on the left and tomato on the right) permanently stick to hard surfaces just by passing electricity through them.

You don’t need glue to hold these materials together — just electricity

After 16 weeks in seawater, bioplastic straws made of foam (top image) broke down at least twice as fast as the solid versions (bottom image).

Lifetime of ‘biodegradable’ straws in the ocean is 8-20 months, study finds
