Implanted electronics are typically large, require batteries, and sometimes need replacement—but new technology could change that.
Some of the devices even dissolve in the body once their work is done.
But researchers have a new way to keep the materials and their associated circuitry, including electrodes, intact as they’re moved to curved or other smooth surfaces.
The results of their work appear in the journal ACS Nano.
This camera can capture photons of light in slow motion 📷.
Even the device’s creators were impressed by the clarity of the images.
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed 3D-printed objects that can transmit and store data about their use without the need for batteries or electronics.
