Fuel cell implant uses blood sugar to manage type 1 diabetes
Researchers at ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, or Swiss Federal Technical Institute) recently unveiled a fuel cell that uses excess glucose (blood sugar) when implanted in the body to generate electricity. It can potentially power other medical implants, including one that automatically manages type 1 diabetes.

Doom, Duke Nukem, and Blood combine in new Steam FPS, with free demo
Many modern FPS games have tried to recapture the spirit of the ‘90s – those halcyon days spent in front of Doom, Duke Nukem, Blood, and the like – but few have succeeded. For PC players, the decade that brought us Half-Life, Quake, and, um, Extreme Paintbrawl, was a very special time to be alive. If a developer claims to be reviving the shooter’s most-classical era, by virtue, it’s got some very hard acts to follow. There’s one new FPS however, available now via a free demo on Steam, that could be up there with the likes of Dusk and Prodeus when it comes to faithful (and extremely fun) ‘90s homages.

Apple Watch Blood Glucose Monitoring Likely Still ‘Three to Seven Years’ Away
In February, Gurman reported that Apple has made major progress with its noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technology, allowing diabetics and others to test their blood glucose levels without needing to prick the skin for blood testing.
Apple’s system apparently uses a silicon photonics chip to shine light from a laser under the skin to determine the concentration of glucose in the body. In Bloomberg‘s “Power On” newsletter, Gurman said that Apple “still needs to perfect the algorithms and on-board sensors” to bring the technology to market. Crucially, the company also needs to “shrink it down to the size of a module that can fit in the small and thin package that is an Apple Watch.” Gurman believes this process “will take another three to seven years at least.”
Apple began working on alternative glucose monitoring methods following its aquisition of RareLight in 2010. The company then used a startup called Avolante Health LLC to develop the technology at a secret facility before moving it to the Exploratory Design Group (XDG).
Apple has been conducting human trials for the past 10 years and seeks to be able to warn Apple Watch users if they are prediabetic to encourage lifestyle changes before diabetes develops. It is believed to be holding early discussions about getting regulatory approval for the technology.
