Stretchable semiconductor skin created for next-gen brain implants
The team highlights that this new material is a single entity, combining semiconductor and hydrogel properties.
The University of Chicago researchers state that this hydrogel-based semiconductor could be used in various bioelectronics, from implantable medical devices like pacemakers and biosensors to wearable health monitors and even advanced prosthetics. “It has very soft mechanical properties and a large degree of hydration similar to living tissue,” said Sihong Wang, UChicago PME Asst. Its softness and electrical ability are a perfect match for delicate biological tissues, offering unparalleled potential for a wide range of applications.
