Silken circuits intentionally degrade in controlled way

摘要

Researchers at the University of Illinois, in collaboration with Tufts and Northwestern University, have demonstrated a new type of biodegradable electronics technology. "We refer to this type of technology as transient electronics," said John A. Rogers, the Lee J. Flo-ry-Founder Professor of Engineering at the University of Illinois, who led the multidisciplinary research team.
