Researchers from the University of Cambridge say they have developed a groundbreaking method to create lightweight and eco-friendly sensors that can be “directly and imperceptibly” printed onto a variety of biological surfaces, from human skin to flower petals.
Taking inspiration from spider silk, the Cambridge researchers incorporated biocompatible conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS, hyaluronic acid, and polyethylene oxide into their bioelectronic fibers which were produced from a water-based solution using an orbital spinning method.
