Silicon-Silk Electronic Implants
Science Fiction in the News —
Silicon-Silk Electronic Implants [image] Scientists have built thin, flexible electronics on a silk substrate , creating implants that are perfect for implantation in the body. Over time, the silk melts away and the silicon circuits, just 250 nanometers thick, remain and work perfectly. [image] ( Silicon-silk electronic implant ) To make the devices, silicon transistors about one millimeter long and 250 nanometers thick are collected on a stamp and then transferred to the surface of a thin film of silk. The silk holds each device in place, even after the array is implanted ...
