Embedding transistors into soft, comformable, and versatile material, our partners at UC Irvine have created circuits that are compatible with human physiology.
Utilizing an asymmetric design that allows for the movement of current within a device comprised of a single biocompatible material, the research team (which also includes researchers from ColumbiaU), achieved what was previously not available: a device architecture that can be implemented across different materials so as to be effective in a huge amount of potential scenarios.
