A skin-like biomedical technology that uses a mesh of conducting nanowires and a thin layer of elastic polymer might bring new electronic bandages that monitor biosignals for medical applications and provide therapeutic stimulation through the skin. The research behind this project was conducted by scientists from Purdue University (West Lafayette (IN), USA).
The “IDTechEx Show!” – also known as Printed Electronics USA – in Santa Clara, California, was attended by 3146 visitors from 45 countries. 212 exhibitors were showcasing their materials, machinery, components, finished devices and services.
Striking solar cell designs, semi-transparency and colours are not typically words associated with solar cells. But with printed polymer solar cells, endless opportunities are possible through their freedom of design and colour selection.
