http://cdn.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/flex-electronics-300x169.png Flexible electronics may have the potential to allow all sorts of new capabilities of monitoring and influencing the processes happening within our bodies. A number of teams around the world have developed different*strategies for creating such electronics. **w the team of engineers at the **rth Carolina State University have come up with a new approach. They’ve taken a lesson from mother nature by mimicking the accordion-like structures within animals and plants to create an electronic device that can be repeatedly stretched while preserving its functionality.
http://cdn.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/flexible-electronics.pngThe flexible apparatus is created by making a mold of parallel folds on top of which*aluminum-doped zinc oxide is layered. A coating of an elastic polymer is placed onto the zinc oxide and the result ******* from the mold. Since both the doped zinc oxide and the polymer coating are clear, the device remains transparent, while the metal component flexes without losing conductivity.
Here’s a demo video of the tech**logy in its first iteration:
