Making nanoelectronics last longer for medical devices, 'cyborgs'

Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - 11:02 in Health & Medicine

The debut of cyborgs who are part human and part machine may be a long way off, but researchers say they now may be getting closer. In a study published in ACS' journal Nano Letters, they report development of a coating that makes nanoelectronics much more stable in conditions mimicking those in the human body. The advance could also aid in the development of very small implanted medical devices for monitoring health and disease.
