Researchers create soft, conductive gold electrodes for nervous system | The electrodes are soft like nerves, stretchable, and electrically conductive, and expected to have a long lifespan inside the body.
Researchers have developed soft, conductive gold electrodes that can interface with the nervous system, will treat neurological disorders.
In a recent study published in the journal Small, a team of researchers at Linköping University created gold nanowires—which are a thousand times thinner than a human hair—and placed them in an elastic material to produce soft microelectrodes. Getting these to work together has resulted in a conductor that has high electrical conductivity, is very soft, and is made of biocompatible materials that function with the body,” says Tybrandt. His work has been featured in publications such as Janes, National Geographic, Al Jazeera, Rest of World, Mongabay, and Nikkei.
