Jake Wilkinson

Jake graduated from the University of Manchester with an integrated masters in Chemistry with honours.

Due to his two left hands the practical side of science never appealed to him, instead he focused his studies on the field of science communication. His degree, combined with his previous experience in the promotion and marketing of events, meant a career in science marketing was a no-brainer.

In his spare time Jake enjoys keeping up with new music, reading anything he can get his hands on and going on the occasional run.

Researchers Discover New Method of Creating Polarizing Filters by Studying Shrimp

A new method of developing polarizers, devices which rotate the plane of light, has been developed which mimics the way shrimps polarize light. Whilst humans use polarizers in sunglasses and DVD players shrimp have been using them to communicate without having to worry about any prey eavesdropping on their conversation.

Flexible Water-Based Band-Aid with Embedded Electronics Faciltates Smart Drug Delivery

A futuristic band-aid has been developed that is sticky and stretchable whilst allowing electronics to be integrated into it. The band-aid consists of a hydrogel and can have LEDs and temperature sensors embedded into its structure. Microscale drug reservoirs and delivery channels can also be integrated into the band-aid which will allow the delivery of drugs in response to changes in body temperature or other biological signals such as blood glucose levels.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?
