Brain sensors and electronic tags that dissolve. Boosting the potential of renewable energy sources. These are examples of the latest research from two pioneering scientists. Tackling health and sustainability issues simultaneously, scientists are developing a vast toolbox of materials -- from magnesium and silicon to silk and even rice paper -- to make biodegradable electronics that can potentially be used in a range of applications.
