Living Circuit Boards: How the Chinese Academy of Sciences Uses Bacteria to Revive Smartphones

Living Circuit Boards: How the Chinese Academy of Sciences Uses Bacteria to Revive Smartphones

How difficult is it to achieve a complete “cradle-to-grave-to-cradle” cycle for electronic devices? A smartphone contains hundreds of materials, many of which are permanently bonded and encapsulated, making separation costly and prone to cross-contamination; moreover, components like chips are extremely sensitive to impurities, and any contamination in recycled materials can render them useless. How can … Read more
