New AcouSome publication on Science Advances

AcouSome partners are glad to announce that a new scientific article has been published on the current issue of Science Advances.

The article is the result of the work carried out by DTU and Lund University in the AcouSome and Prisma projects and explores the potential of ceria-based thin films as electromechanical actuators for flexible electronics. More specifically, the study advances the understanding of oxygen-defective metal oxide electromechanical properties and paves the way for developing versatile and efficient electromechanical systems for applications in biomedical devices, optical devices, and beyond.

The article is open-access and available here.

AcouSome and Prisma projects are funded by the European Commission. The goal of the Prisma project is to develop a revolutionary thin film micro-pump which can be used as an innovative pumping system in wearable insulin delivery devices for the treatment of diabetes. The long-term goal is to allow the realization of multi-drug delivery systems, making real the much-lauded multi-hormone treatment. DTU and Lund University (as well as Day One) are partners in both projects, which are born from the work done in the BioWings project.
