Stretchy circuit possibilities
Date:2008-4-1
A new kind of stretchy silicon circuit could open the door to "smart" surgical gloves, interactive clothing and flexible devices that wrap around mechanical parts such as aircraft wings.
The stretchable integrated circuit can be moulded around complex shapes and operate while being compressed, folded or pulled apart with no reduction in performance.
It would be ideal for wearable medical monitors that can read heart rate and other vital signs, or surgical gloves fitted with sensors, say scientists.
