EPFL engineers working with a startup company called Xsensio have developed a new wearable sensing chip that can measure the concentration of a stress hormone called cortisol in human sweat. The ...

Researchers have developed a sensor that can detect cortisol, an indicator of many diseases, in sweat. A team at the Oregon State University College of Engineering (OR, USA) has developed a new device ...

Many moons ago, on a scorching hot summer day, I was working out in Central Park alongside lots of other sweaty New Yorkers when the words "sweat and the biology of bliss" popped into my head; despite ...

Over time, stress and anxiety can build to a point where life’s challenges become overwhelming and cause physical effects. Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report a dental floss ...

Skoltech researchers have developed a prototype of a fluorescence-based sensor for continuous detection of cortisol concentrations in real time, which can help monitor various health conditions. The ...

Scientists create a floss pick that samples cortisol within saliva as a marker of stress and quantifies it with a built-in electrode. The system uses a polymer casting technology that can be adapted ...
