Electrical engineers at Duke University have devised a fully print-in-place technique for electronics that uses carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires and is gentle enough to work on delicate surfaces, including paper and human skin. The advance could enable high-adhesion, embedded electronic tattoos and bandages tricked out with patient-specific biosensors.
