Ever wondered how much sun you're getting? Too much? Too little? USC Viterbi Professor Andrea Armani and graduate research lead Michele Lee have developed a flexible waterproof adhesive that senses UV exposure. This wearable technology doesn't require power and even works with sunscreen, allowing users to avoid sun overexposure related to skin cancer, while still getting the necessary dose of Vitamin D.
