Electronic wrist strap that hangs lightly on the hair, is destroyed in vinegar

This wrist electronics will melt completely if you put the vinegar on it. It is an extremely useful method of destroying electronics, when it is estimated that by 2018 there will be 50 million tons of electronic waste on Earth.

Scientists at Stanford University have been trying to create an electronic product that can be decomposed by bacteria to tackle eutrophic waste that is threatening the environment. As a result, they created the smallest, thinnest device ever made. The biggest advance in this device is semiconductor semiconductor, which is synthesized from a molecule commonly found in tattoo ink.

Hang on the hair.

They also created a very thin film from plant fibers, using them as a substrate for electronic circuits. These include electrodes made of aluminum and iron, which can melt completely (along with other parts of the device) over a period of 30 days, when soaked in a lower acidic solution. vinegar. The results of the study are published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The purpose of the study is to use this technology to create a device that stores sensitive information (which can be dispersed quickly), to create implantable medical devices. To ensure that the device is not toxic to living tissue, scientists tested it by placing the device in the mouse's heart within 2 to 6 days. Heart cells are not affected, but the device must still be tested before being applied to the human body.

These fragile electronics could be the future of the electronics industry and a solution to the problem of electronic waste that is extremely painful. But it will require the user to be very careful, if you accidentally pour the vinegar into the device will "tan into smoke" always.
