Invisible ‘Spider Silk’ Sensors Printed on Skin Revolutionize Wearable Technology
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed invisible, spider silk-like sensors that can be printed directly onto the skin. Made from eco-friendly materials, these sensors are ultra-thin and can conform perfectly to living surfaces, offering a promising alternative for wearable sensor production. This innovative bioelectronic ‘spider silk’ has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, gaming, and augmented reality.
