Electronic Nanomesh Gently Hugs Beating Heart Cells

A collaboration of Japanese scientists at University of Tokyo, Tokyo Women's Medical University, and RIKEN research institute have developed an extremely soft and flexible electronic mesh that can be intimately integrated with the beating myocardial cells, while not interrupting their movement, providing an unprecedented ability to study their activity. The new polyurethane "nanomesh," as the sensor is being called, has wires, only 100 nanometers in width, made of nano-scale pieces of go...
