ADVERTISEMENTS

Popular Science Magazine writes this month about amazing research going on in the lab of Greek-born Professor Fotios Papadimitrakopoulos. Professor Papadimitrakopoulos and his University of Connecticut colleagues have developed a sensor the size of a grain of rice that is injected in to the skin and senses a diabetic person's glucose level.

Diabetics using the sensor will be able to avoid having to draw blood as often as five times a day.
