'Melt in the body' electronics devised
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19737125
Ultra-thin electronics that dissolve inside the body have been devised by scientists in the US and could be used for a range of medical roles.
The devices can "melt away" once their job is done, according to research published in the journal Science.
The technology has already been used to heat a wound to keep it free from infection by bacteria.
The components are made of silicon and magnesium oxide, and placed in a protective layer of silk.
