Electronic devices that can not only be implanted in the human body but also completely dissolve on their own - known as "bioresorbable" electronics - are envisioned by many as one of medical technology's next frontiers. A new study by Missouri University of Science and Technology researchers suggests that a laser printing technique using nanoparticles could help unlock a more cost-effective approach to building sturdier and safer components.
