Truly flexible electronics are coming for your skin, eyes, and body

Researchers at MIT have developed a new method for fabricating electronic components that opens up a world of possibilities, including flexible, stackable, semitransparent and noninvasive devices. They could someday be integrated into our clothes, shoes, contact lenses and even our brains! It's been called "remote epitaxy" and the "peel and stack" method, and it involves the use of the wonder material known as graphene.

My sunburn killed my smartphone!

I can see this as a potential change in the medical field. You apply that to your body in someway and managers or monitors your health and either manages your situation or alerts you that you have a chronic problem of some sort.

Share the info with other university students to accelerate the different life applications. Nice one!

Bright future is expected! Fighting!!

Thanks, but I for one do not want any circuits in my body. And don't even get me started on hacking, malfunctions and short-circuit in that context.

Same goes for flexible battery tech, which still need to wait for few decades...

Wireless devices flowing through your bloodstream? What could go wrong?

WOW! When Apple came out with their first smart watch, the first thing thing I thought of was (Knight Rider) David Hasselhoff aka Michael Knight's Qualcom on his wrist.

Yeah we want to use 5G skin patches! Microwave your head!
