In 2023, Swedish scientists made a breakthrough by creating electronic circuits directly in living tissues. By using an implantable gel with enzymes, they initiated a process that turns organic nanomers in the gel into soft and stable electrodes. This method was successfully tested on fish and leeches. Who would have thought that we'll soon be able to charge our smartphones by simply touching our pets? But, jokes aside, this breakthrough opens new possibilities for medicine and technology. For instance, imagine your wearable gadgets running on energy directly from your body, medical devices monitoring your health, integrated into your skin without harming your body. In a world where technology strives to become more organic and less noticeable, we might be on the verge of a new era of 'living' technology. So, don't be surprised if your pets start blinking when you pet them – science never stands still! (Source: Hightech.plus)
