Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology are developing multifunctional scales to monitor health and detect potentially life-threatening conditions. The scales can measure arterial stiffness and even recognize the development of hyperkalemia, a condition that requires dialysis.
Researchers at KTU created a cheaper and more efficient organic semiconductor material, which has been licensed to Tokyo Chemical Industry. The material has similar characteristics to existing alternatives but is significantly cheaper and easier to produce.
Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology have developed biodegradable packaging that can keep food fresh for longer, reducing food waste and plastic usage. The packaging, made from cellulose composites with added ethereal oil and silver particles, degrades in nature in around two years.
