Battery-free Super Tiny Sensor that could Save Your Life

Tracking concentration of gas, checking organic compounds and chemical liquid, detecting various pollutants on food, even monitoring heartbeat are increasingly demanding for industries. Furthermore, smaller in size and less power consumption are particularly needed in the sophisticated industry for the next time future.

GE Global Research has taken the oportunity to meet those expectations even going further for battery-free and RFID based sensors.

Tiny sensor even smaller than a penny

Because it is no battery needed, small size can be met and low-cost manufacturing can satisfy the users. "Small size, low-cost and selective chemical capabilities will provide acceptance from many applicants," The researcher said.

Sensors are chemically and biologically coated to obtain numerous response to detect and measure chemical in different mixtures and circumstances.

Watching Sport Show Can Trigger Heart Attack

Many people love sport show in TV. But it is worried that watching interesting sport show can trigger heart attack. This warning is intended especially for heart attack patients.

38 men involved to the research have heart attack when watching sport show, both for live show or from television.

During watching sport show, blood flow in their coronary blood line is watched and analyzed using tool called "electrocardiography (EKG)" continuously to check blood flow to heart. Blood pressure is watched continuously during the show.

"For all, blood flow to heart is quite stable, but when there is part that makes men really interested and enthusiastic with, the blood pressure increases very fast and then blood cell raises causing obstacle and blocks the blood flow to heart. This factor triggers heart attack," one of the researchers said.

For that reason, the researchers give advice for sport show lovers to be able to control emotion when watching the show if they still want to have long life.
