Scientists Print Working Electrodes Directly on Skin With Light

A simple burst of visible light can now create skin-safe electrodes that could transform medical and wearable electronics. A new study from researchers at Linköping University and Lund University in Sweden shows that visible light can be used to form electrodes made from conductive plastics without relying on hazardous chemicals. The method allows electrodes to [...]

Light that draws electrodes directly on the skin: low-cost "bio" electronics (and without toxic chemicals) - Economic Scenarios

There's a certain irony in the fact that, while the world scrambles to develop ever smaller and more expensive chips in factories that resemble sterile, billion-dollar cathedrals, the real electronics revolution could happen with a little water, a laser, and a piece of plastic. No clean rooms worthy of a science fiction movie, no solvents that would make an environmental safety officer blanch. Just visible light. This is what emerges from a rece…
