Smart contact lenses one step closer to reality with ultra-thin batteries powered by tears
Scientists from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have developed a saline-powered battery small enough to fit under a lens, which could pave the way forward in the pursuit of smart contact lenses – the holy grail of augmented reality.
The team developed a flexible battery as thin as a human cornea, which stores electricity when it is immersed in a special saline solution, said Associate Professor Lee Seok Woo of NTU’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, who has worked on the project since 2019.
