From the page: "Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and Northwestern University, in Evanston, IL, have shown that electrical circuits can be made to fold and stretch and still match the performance of circuits built on rigid wafers. Made of thin sheets of silicon on plastic or rubber, these bendable circuits could pave the way for such applications as wearable computers and implantable health monitoring systems."

I only hope this sort of thing will truly impact my own life very soon! My cyborgian dreams pull me onwards wanting some day to enjoy such computational body mods to enhance my reality and enable me to have new skills. This creation is part of the series of steps towards such allowances!

"In addition, Rogers and his colleagues are building latex surgical gloves with integrated electronics that could add sensing functionally or, in some cases, provide tactile feedback for training surgical students."
