I am sorry for the one month absence and no replies, but I can’t get any inspiration and nothing comes out when I try to write so— I am again sorry!
Proof of concept could create electronic displays on contact lenses - Taking augmented reality to the next level
A polymer film coating with the ability to turn contact lenses into computer screens is set to transform the wearable visual aids into the next generation of consumer electronics.
Scientists from the University of South Australia’s Future Industries Institute have successfully completed “proof of concept” research on a polymer film coating that conducts electricity on a contact lens, with the potential to build miniature electrical circuits that are safe to be worn by a person.
UniSA researcher from the FII, Associate Professor Drew Evans said the technology was a “game changer” and could provide one of the safest methods to bring people and their smart devices closer together.

ABSTRACT
Prompted by the rapidly developing field of wearable electronics, research into biocompatible substrates and coatings is intensifying. Acrylate-based hydrogel polymers have gained widespread use as biocompatible articles in applications such as contact and intraocular lenses. Surface treatments and/or coatings present one strategy to further enhance the performance of these hydrogels or even realize novel functionality. In this study, the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is deposited from the vapor phase onto hydrated hydrogel substrates and blended with biocompatibilizing coconstituents incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) moieties. Plasma pretreatment of the dehydrated hydrogel substrate modifies its surface topography and chemical composition to facilitate the attachment of conductive PEDOT-based surface layers. Manipulating the vapor phase polymerization process and constituent composition, the PEDOT-based coating is engineered to be both hydrophilic (i.e. to promote biocompatibility) and highly conductive. The fabrication of this conductively coated hydrogel has implications for the future of wearable electronic devices.

I will keep this short and sweet. I don’t have many followers, but I still wanted to recognize the ones that stand out. Without people to interact with, Geun wouldn’t be able to develop as a muse. So, thanks to those that do.

This was done in a chaotic arrangement, so no particular order.
The light of his phone’s screen reflecting on the glass window caught the man’s gaze and once he read the reply he got from his little brother, he couldn’t wait to jump out of the train and take his car to Damian’s residence. It was rare for Damian to use the word please, it made JiSub happy for some odd reason. Within twenty minutes, he was parking his car outside the building. He didn’t know how he got there, his safety in arriving was thanks to his subconscious mind that got him to his destination. He rang the bell and waited for his brother’s face to greet him. “Sorry, I thought this was Damian’s residence. I got the wrong place.” JiSub teased his brother then trapped him in a tight hug. “Man, I missed you.” He messed up his brother’s hair and smiled at him. “It truly feels like home only with you.”
He felt small. Not in size, or in spirit. Just small. Like he went back to the time where he was 5 or 7 and would often cling to his brother. “I’m trying to act as a grown up.” he whispered, returning the tight hug of his brother with equal force. “I missed you too, hyung.” he replied, pulling off the hug and giving his brother a smile, though it was much weaker than the usual ones the boy had. He stepped aside and let his brother enter the apartment. “You’re alone?” he then asked, looking over his brother. He did want to be alone with the older, but he also thought the other would bring company with him.
