Graphene is a carbon allotrope that exhibits special properties. This wonder material has a unique structure, conducts electricity well, and is incredibly strong. The substance has several derivatives, such as graphene oxide and SiO2 graphene, which are used in improving modern-day electronics. Here are some of their applications: Wearable Electronics Wearable devices refer to items that people can comfortably wear. Examples of these are smartwatches and body-mounted cameras. These can be used for tracking information in real-time. Some have motion sensors that can take snapshots of day-to-day activities and sync them with a smartphone and computer. Because of the energy they require, researchers are looking for new ways to power them. One solution is to create a graphene-based battery printed on fabric, which could allow people to use their devices for a long time. If this can be achieved, carrying heavy power banks or chargers will be a thing of the past. Plastic To...

Eating electronics sounds too hard on the gut, but with advancements in technology, you can now literally consume gadgets and reap their medical benefits. It may be hard to believe, so below is a list of ingestible devices that'll change the way you live. Graphene Toast Here's a smartwatch you can eat. The graphene toast is your ordinary English breakfast with a techy twist. It has electronic sensors that measure your vital signs. You can connect it to a health device that displays your heart rate, calorie intake, and sleep quality. It also detects harmful bacteria, so it comes in handy when testing for food-borne illnesses in the body. Researchers at Rice University in Texas incorporate the technology into food by printing RFIDs on bread. These tags are made of graphene, an innovative carbon-based material that's completely safe to eat. It's sensitive to changes in the environment, so it's able to detect movements and chemical reactions inside the body...
