YOU may soon be selling
smart bandages developed
by researchers from the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
According to a Wired report, the
university scientists have been
working on creating what they
refer to as “the Band-Aid of the
future”.
The smart bandages incorporate a
sticky, stretchy hydrogel that includes
temperature sensors, LED lights
and drug delivery channels that
can release medicines in response
to body temperature changes.
They even light up when the
medicine is running low, alerting
the wearer that it may be time to
replace the sticky stretchy thing.
A HAIRDRESSER in Spain has
become a YouTube sensation after
a report on internet channel “The
Young Turks” which showcases his
unique methods which include
the use of swords and fire.
Alberto Olmedo asks guests
if they’re after a “smoking
new look,” and highlights the
mathematical precision of his
method where he uses two
swords simultaneously to ensure
an even hairdo.
“Hairdressers usually cut one
side, and then the other - and one
side is always a bit different from
the other,” he says.
Using a range of daggers and
swords as well as metal claws and
blowtorches he creates
unique styles, admitting
his techniques can be a
“bit medieval” - see youtube.com.
