Down the Line: New Polymer Creates Flexible Medical Devices
Researchers at the University of California-San Diego have discovered how to transfer the optical properties of silicon crystal sensors to plastic.
Researchers at the University of California-San Diego (UCSD) have discovered how to transfer the optical properties of silicon crystal sensors to plastic, an achievement that could lead to the development of flexible, implantable devices capable of monitoring the delivery of drugs within the body, the strains on a weak joint or even the healing of a suture.
