Skin-Smart AI Patch Delivers Instant On-Body Health Insights

Researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have created a skin-like, stretchable AI patch that processes health data directly on the body, performing real-time analysis in milliseconds without sending data to remote servers. Using printable organic electrochemical transistors embedded in a flexible substrate and a UV-hardening gel, the device maps heart rhythms with up to 99.6% accuracy and predicts heart-attack risk at 83.5%, laying groundwork for a fully integrated, on-body health monitoring platform with future wireless and sensor enhancements.

Wooden Transistor: A Groundbreaking Invention

Researchers from the Wallenberg Wood Science Center have created the world's first wooden transistor, which is 3 centimeters across and switches at less than one Hertz. The transistor holds promise for specialized applications including biodegradable computing and implanting into living plant material. The researchers leveraged the structural stability and porosity of balsa wood to create conducting channels inside the wood's pores and electrochemically modulate their conductivity with the help of a penetrating electrolyte and a conducting polymer.
