In a yet another example to integrate electronic devices with the human body, researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed an ultrathin, protective layer that will help create “electronic skin” displays of blood oxygen level, e-skin heart rate sensors for athletes and other applications.
The team demonstrated its use by creating an air-stable, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. Integrating electronic devices with the human body to enhance or restore body function for biomedical applications is the goal of researchers around the world. Wearable electronics, in particular, need to be thin and flexible to minimise impact where they attach to the body. However, most devices developed so far have required millimetre-scale thickness glass or plastic substrates with limited flexibility, while micrometer-scale thin flexible organic devices have not been stable enough to survive in air.

Weird webtoy by @samrolfes for Adult Swim is a 3D musical sequencer using some odd levitating blobbly ragdoll:
… Its’s drum machine sequencer, which is traditionally a 2D grid where you click on different boxes to make beats, but I took that and made it 3D and is played by flinging around fleshy ragdolls around the environment, colliding into sample cubes that play the various sounds.

Scientists have figured out the most effective technique to cleaning your hands with hand sanitizer by having 120 participants test out two methods with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer: a three-step system by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and a six-step system by the World Health Organization. Here’s which method was more effective.
