Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed eco-friendly, adaptive sensors made from “electronic spider silk,” which can be printed directly onto biological surfaces like skin or flower petals. These sensors are ultra-lightweight, imperceptible, and enable continuous health monitoring without obstructing natural sensations. The method is low-waste and low-emission, making it versatile for applications in healthcare, virtual reality, electronic textiles, and environmental monitoring. This innovation could transform wearable technology by providing sustainable, on-demand sensor production with minimal environmental impact.
This breakthrough in bioelectronics highlights significant advancements in sustainable technology and opens new possibilities for seamless integration of sensors in various fields, enhancing both user comfort and environmental conservation.
