‘Cyborg’ technology could enable new diagnostics, merger of humans and AI

Although true “cyborgs” — part human, part robotic beings — are science fiction, researchers are taking steps toward integrating electronics with the body. Such devices could monitor for tumor development or stand in for damaged tissues. But connecting electronics directly to human tissues in the body is a huge challenge. Now, a team is reporting new coatings for components that could help them more easily fit into this environment. David Martin, Ph.D. University of Delaware For more ground-breaking scie
