These two Ph-D proposals are part of a challenging project consisting in making new glucose/O2 Biofuel cells. As the size of microelectronic circuits and of sensors shrinks, the size of the low-power sensor-transmitter package (of potential value in physiological research and in medicine) becomes increasingly dependent on the size of its power source. The miniature … [More Info]
