So Safe – So Thin | Electronic Chips to Dissolve in Your Body

The same group of researchers, who previously brought you advanced bend and flex electronic tattoos, are now in the middle of introducing something totally new. The upcoming anticipation is speculated as a collection of electronics that would dissolve in human body after their intended goal is complete.

Let’s say; you have an internal injury. Surgical procedures are already out of the window, so the doctor simply injects the said dissolvable electronic chip in your body. After the chip has healed you, it will simply melt down to nothingness, while ridding the body of any diseases.

The new electronic chips are never meant to last forever. Their invention is purely medical field based. Since the doctors have always wanted to prevent invasive surgical procedures these days, the new chips will be of a great deal of help.

Coming straight up from the University of Illinois, researchers are adamant on revolutionizing medical science to new grades of awesomeness. The devices and electronic modules are already being used on guinea pigs and rats. If their internal injuries and wounds are curable, the thin sheets made out of silicon, magnesium and silk are going to be used in live human treatments.

It is believed that the devices will be able to dissolve completely within a matter of days or even hours. Instead of taking weeks and months, the chips will vanish as if they never existed in the first place. Speaking of chips, the CIA has long before invented tracking bugs that degrade into tiny particles, once activated.

Are there any Toxic Side Effects?

As of now, there are no known toxic side effects of these upcoming electronic chips. Their physical form is more or less comparable to multivitamins, which are quite easy for the body to accept. However, seeing to the fact if a patient has a history of severe reaction to magnesium or any elements that comprise the chips, it is going to be a serious threat to the integrity of this invention.
