It has the potential not only to improve biomedical implants but could also be useful in the development of human-machine interfaces such as touch screens and neural implants. Biomedical devices like pacemakers or blood pressure sensors that are implanted into the human body need to be fabricated in such a way that they conform and adhere to the body – and then dissolve at the right time.</p> Fri, 12 May 2023 18:22:44 +0000 claire.loewen@mcgill.ca 299931 at /newsroom
