Research into the nervous system, brain disorders, and general biological functions has often relied upon inserted electrodes to act as stimulators.

These mechanical parts, however, are inherently incompatible with organic tissues and can be finicky.

Now, Swedish researchers have used polymer gel to allow self-assembly of biological electrodes within the body.
