Researchers at Surrey University and Kyung Hee University of Korea have developed a biodegradable motion sensor – paving the way for implanted nanotechnology.
They developed a nano-biomedical motion sensor which can be paired with AI systems to recognise movements of body parts.
The technology builds on previous work around triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), where researchers used the technology to harness human movements and generate small amounts of electrical energy.
Combining the two means self-powered sensors are possible without the need for chemical or wired power sources.
The team developed a flexible, biodegradable and long-lasting TENG from silk cocoon waste.
They used an alcohol treatment technique, which leads to greater durability for the device, even under harsh or humid environments.
