How to make electronic skin with Stanford's Zhenan Bao

Reactions Science Videos | June 27, 2016

The Speaking of Chemistry California road trip continues as we scope out some cutting-edge, flexible electronics at Stanford University.

Stanford’s Zhenan Bao and her research team are developing electronics that could revolutionize wearables and prosthetics. In this episode, Matt Davenport and Noel Waghorn get a glimpse behind the scenes at Stanford and learn how Zhenan’s past at the historic Bell Labs is helping her create futuristic materials.
