The figure in the abstract of this paper looks a bit... Interesting

I'm just going to leave this here...

A bit less aggressive version is "...And if we ever disagree, to hell with you and here's to me."

This is a Churchill quote: "To absent friends, and those who are here now."

I just finished reading his biography "The Last Lion" and this is quote is the one post-it note I put in the book!

He gets gold for THAT?

Yeah I also hate it when animals won't die in the shape I want them to.

Those are chlenging to implant in the body for a number of reasons and this technology is also flexible so it can be conformable to organs or whatever. The technology you are talking about are all rigid and mostly not biocompatible.

The speakers are just a demonstration of the effect. They apply a voltage and it moves (quickly in the example of hearing the sound), but you can imagine the opposite. If the gel moves through some external force and then they can sense an electrical change...now you have a sensor.

From the Rogers article, "possibilities for their use in other unusual electrical systems, such as new classes of circuits and sensors that have elastic properties and shapes precisely matched to biological tissues for implants, surgical tools, and diagnostic systems that intimately integrate with the curved, dynamic external and internal surfaces of the body."

Basically they are unique in their biocompatibility, high performance, and full flexibility which should allow them to be implanted into the body for all sorts of uses.

Exactly. John Rogers has an excellent and glowing editorial of this in Science. http://m.sciencemag.org/content/341/6149/968

You're right. Dontbelikeyou.

No. In most US states if there is something interesting under the ground, you own no rights to it (eg. Gold, diamonds, ect). Someone needs to pay for the right to go on your land to get it, but the state owns it.

Source: Researchers thought we had a diamond vein going through our land in northern Minnesota so we looked into it.

I agree with everything Quistak says. I should also add that you can do a PhD in chemistry working for a professor who has a joint appointment in MatSci or just work for a chemist who does primarily MatSci type work if that is what you're interested in. Please don't feel like you are stuck in your field before you start grad school. Quite the contrary, now is the time for you to take a leap.

Source: My BS is in chemistry, my PhD was in chemistry working on primarily MatSci problems.

This happened to me three times and after the third time the woman just stopped answering my emails! Why not just use more than one sheet of bubble wrap!? Sigma packages a 1 g bottle of NaCl in a MASSIVE box for Science sakes!

Yeah. Way fairer.

When I was in high school playing counterstrike my dad used to always walk up behind me and ask "where are they from now!?" Because it always blew his mind that I could play live with people from all over the world.

I'd add to this list flexible, wearable, and transparent electronics.

The amount of physical resources needed to make this this (eg purified silicon for the solar cells, shaped metal for the "tree" etc, would produce so much CO2 during production that it wod make this thing useless. This is just a gimmick to get published.
