KAUST Research Conference 2019: New Trends in Biosensors and Bioelectronics

-

KAUST

The “KAUST Research Conference on New Trends in Biosensors and Bioelectronics” aims to give an overview of the most recent efforts in bioelectronics that tackle the “interface” problem and overcome the limits of the current technologies by generating new materials/architectures/device components. With its truly interdisciplinary nature, this conference will bring scientists from different disciplines together.

Self-destructible electronics is a Mission Impossible no more

In today's digital age, the increasing dependency on information makes everyone potentially exposed to privacy invasion and cyber security. Annual reports on tech-safety breaches are alarming, with stolen portable devices, laptops or mobiles, along with hacked hardware skyrocketing to 50% in the United States only. Bigger the picture, global is the risk of unwilling access to private lives or strategical documents, with everyone in the eye of the most dangerous of information violation. In such cases, an immediate ability to remotely destroy the sensitive parts, if it is not possible to regain them, would save us.

Dental braces get smart

1 min read ·
-By Francesca Serra Muhammad Hussain, associate Professor of electrical engineering at the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering Division of KAUST, recently developed a new dental brace technology that can straighten teeth faster and more effectively than actual products. The orthodontic system was designed to induce faster bone regeneration and to enhance protection of the enamel. According to Hussain and his team, the technology is going to introduce a paradigm shift in orthodontic treatments "The integration of high performance inorganic mechanically conformable and
