"Invisible 'Spider Silk' Sensors Printed Directly on Skin"
TL;DR Summary
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed eco-friendly, adaptive sensors inspired by spider silk that can be imperceptibly printed onto various biological surfaces, including human skin and flower petals. These lightweight, high-performance bioelectronic fibers can be used for continuous health monitoring, virtual reality, and environmental monitoring, offering a sustainable and low-waste alternative to traditional sensor technologies.
