Rice Researchers Create Edible Electronics

Researchers out of Rice University, in Houston, say they have created a new technique which allows for the creation of edible electronics--including identification tags, sensors, and more--out of food. According to Rice University, researchers out of the lab of chemist James Tour have developed a way to use a laser to create graphene, a form of carbon which conducts electricity, and can be used to create capacitors, radio-frequency identification (RFID) antennas, biological sensors, and more. The research was published in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano.
