Scientists print invisible, spider silk-like sensors directly on skin | The fibres used in these sensors are at least 50 times thinner than a human hair.
This breakthrough in high-performance bioelectronics allows for customization to a wide range of surfaces, from fingertips to the delicate seedheads of dandelions.
In another scientific marvel inspired by the wonder that is spider silk, researchers have developed an innovative method to create adaptive and eco-friendly sensors that can be seamlessly and invisibly printed onto various biological surfaces, such as a finger or a flower petal. Inspired by the efficient and intricate web structures created by spiders using minimal material, the fibers used in these sensors are at least 50 times thinner than human hair. Tests on various surfaces, including human fingers and dandelion seedheads, demonstrated that these bioelectronic fibers provide high-quality sensor performance while remaining imperceptible to the host.
