Polymer breakthrough could foster Warwick cyberman dreams THERE'S AN INTERESTING REPORT at Electronic Times saying that two Swedish boffins have made breakthroughs in the organic polymer sphere.
According to the report, scientists at Linkoping University are creating organic polymer components that, for example, could unite human nerves with prosthetic limbs.
The polymers use plastic 20 micron channels coated in a conductive polymer casing and using a protein that would allow nerves to connect to the structures.
The piece also says that the organic polymers can also be used in light diodes and in solar cells, the report says.
