WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Dec. 9, 2016 — Dehydration can now be measured with ease thanks to laser machined filter paper. Researchers at Purdue University used CO2 laser processing to create a radial array of strips on their new skin patches that change color to indicate different levels of hydration. Purdue University researchers show off a newly developed skin patch that changes color to indicate different levels of hydration, representing a potential new medical technology. Here, the patch is shown recording hydration at specific time intervals. Courtesy of Purdue University/Vaibhav Jain, Manuel Ochoa. The arrays are...Read full article
