An international group of scientists told about the method that opens up the possibility of creating superfluous wearable electronics. Scientific work was published in the journal Nature Electronics.
According to the scientists of the Imperial College of London and the Turin Polytechnic University, the main problem of the release of smart skin and other gadgets for health control is that the materials for their creation are very cumbersome. In its study, the authors described the possibility of printing electronics from very thin two-dimensional materials.
Specialists told about silicone chips that are “brain” of any device. There is the possibility of printing them on an ultra-thin film with a thickness of one atom. According to the authors of the study, a new way will allow to produce such devices in the form of special inks, of which the medical gadget applied to the patient’s skin will already be created.
“This opens up opportunities for new types of devices that can be integrated into flexible materials, such as clothing, paper, or even fabrics, in the human body,” says scientific work. The creation of such intelligent devices will be like a revolution in medicine: according to scientists, ultra-thin devices can replace various invasive treatment methods. An example is the implantation of brain electrodes for monitoring degenerative states affecting the nervous system.
Earlier, Irish doctors noted the benefit of a plasma-created plasma for patients with severe damage. Experts reported that the replication of the most important component of the blood contributes to the effective healing of the wounds.
