... Ng Palo Alto Research Center One of the frontier goals in electronics research is to transform conventional fabrication processes to meet the demands of soft, pliant, and often easily damaged surfaces. Research in new materials and patterning technologies has enabled flexible electronics that push the boundaries of how electronics are made and used toward the possibility of incorporating electronic control and power sources into any object.

... , who has created a new generation of flexible electrode arrays and optoelectronic neural scaffolds that aim to minimize tissue damage and maintain high-quality neural recordings over the course of several months. She reviewed the potential of these devices as a platform to investigate neuronal viability and potentially to facilitate repair of damaged neural tissues.
