Injectable electronics unfold to monitor brain activity

Flexible electronics have been created that unfold once injected into a biological tissue such as the brain. The US team behind this invention were able to use the mesh electronics to map brain activity in rodents paving the way for similar tests in humans. The work could lead to a new generation of biomedical and implantable electronics that can be easily introduced without damaging surrounding tissue.
Flexible electronics have been incorporated into both living and non-living 3D structures before. But as they have traditionally been continuous sheets and relatively rigid, they required an opening equal to their size in order to be implanted, which defeats many of the advantages of flexible electronics. Furthermore, the mechanical mismatch between traditional thin film flexible electronics and neural tissue frequently produced a chronic immune response.

There was a young teen that had an idea about using polymer capsule filled with chemotherapy medication that would target only the cancer... this sounds like this is going to be a reality very soon. The question is now how much is the treatment going to cost when it does become a reality???
