Seminar on “Materials for Biodegradable Electronics” – John Rogers, Northwestern University
Abstract: A remarkable feature of modern integrated circuit technology is its ability to operate in a stable fashion, with almost perfect reliability, without physical or chemical change. Recently developed classes of electronic materials create an opportunity to engineer the opposite outcome, in the form of devices that can dissolve completely in water to yield completely benign end products. The enabled applications include zero-impact environmental monitors, 'green' consumer electronics and bioresorbable biomedical implants - none of which is possible with technologies…
