Q, By Charles. "Ultra-Flexible Tech May Monitor the Brain." LiveScience. TechMedia Network, 08 June 2015. Web. 09 June 2015. <http://www.livescience.com/51131-flexible-tech-monitor-brain.html>.
Traditional electronics are rigid, but scientists at Harvard University have recently developed flexible and stretchable electronics. In order to be flexible, these new electronics are extremely thin and have a chicken wire like structure. "Our new mesh flexible electronics are 1 million times more flexible than the state-of-the-art flexible electronics," Lieber told Live Science. The process begins with metal electrodes and silicone wires that are only nanometers thick. These wires are then woven into open meshes that are about the size of a postage stamp. Once the mesh is complete a variety of sensors can be hooked up to it and connected through outside wires.
This new technology has endless possibilities and could potentially lead to video screens that can be rolled up in your pocket, but right now scientist are experimenting with applications inside the body. This new ultra-flexible technology is the size of a human hair and can be injected into the human body via needle. Once inside the body, devices like these could monitor and manipulate living tissue. They could even map brain activity and help treat people with disorders such as parkinson's.
Mr. Quoi wrote an interesting article about a new technology that could change the world. He included quotes from the developers and make their points easy to understand. Mr. Quoi also gave the basic idea of how this technology was created but spent most of the article talking about it’s possibilities and future impacts. This made his review much more interesting because the reader was able to relate to the article instead of being confused by advanced scientific concepts. I enjoyed reading the article and hope to see this new revolutionary technology in the near future.
