    Invited Seminar at National Tsing Hua University (Mar 19)

    I visited National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) and delivered an invited seminar hosted by the Institute of Nano Engineering and Micro Systems. In this talk, titled “Transient Ionics: Biodegradable Electronic Materials that Disappear After Use,” I introduced our recent work on the design and applications of biodegradable electronic materials that safely decompose after use. In particular, I discussed transient electronics based on bioderived ionic liquids, biodegradable metal electrodes, and se …
