EMERGING TECHNOLOGY: DISSOLVABLE BIO-MED ELECTRONICS
Ultra-thin electronics that dissolve inside the body have
been devised by scientists in the US and could be used for a
range of medical roles.
According to research published in the journal Science the
components are made of silicon and magnesium oxide and
placed in a protective layer of silk. Once their job has
been completed these devices can simply melt away with the
speed of melting is controlled by silk.
The technology has already been used to heat a wound to keep
it free from infection by bacteria. More is on-line at
tinyurl.com/melting-electronics. (BBC)
