Biodegradable, wood-based computer chips can perform just as well as chips commonly used for wireless communication, according to new research. The inventors argues that the new chips could help address the global problem of rapidly accumulating electronic waste, some of which contains potentially toxic materials. The results also show that a transparent, wood-derived material called nano-cellulose paper is an attractive alternative to plastic as a surface for flexible electronics. #Environmentfriendly #Innovation #NextGenTechnology
