Electronic self-degradation

Electronic devices are capable of completely self-degrading in water and leave only harmless final products as part of a rapidly emerging technology that scientists at the University of Illinois ( American) is a pioneer.

Some practical applications of this technology include self-administered biopsy devices that help reduce surgical site infections, temporary implant systems such as echocardiography and rehabilitation. due to injury, or electrical implantation equipment to promote bone growth.

According to lead researcher John A. Rogers, the new self- healing device can even be used to disperse drugs in the body.

These advances open the door to a new era of electronic devices, from environmentally friendly consumer products to biomedical sensor systems that take care of their work and then dissolve themselves. when no longer needed.
