New research takes step towards 3D laser printed medical electronics

(Nanowerk News) A team of scientists, led by researchers at Lancaster University, have developed a method to 3D print flexible electronics using the conducting polymer polypyrrole, and they have shown that it is possible to directly print these electrical structures on or in living organisms (roundworms). Their findings are reported in a paper published in the academic journal Advanced Material Technologies (“Creating 3D objects with integrated electronics via multiphoton fabrication in vitro and in vivo“). Although at a proof of concept stage, researchers…
