Scientists develop thin-film electronics that automatically connect and disconnect
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Kyushu University in Japan have created thin-film electronics that can automatically connect, disconnect, and reorganize themselves. Using a heating element that causes two plastic layers to bend on command, the modules can lock together or separate without staying plugged in. Potential uses include medical sensors that adapt to track vital signs, soft robots that squeeze through tight spaces, and circuits that repair themselves.
