hi gang,
I'm on an email list server from an organisation that reports on all sorts of advances in electronics and related fields
here's one of the latest offerings .....
"Scientists have created a class of circuitry that promises to reduce non-biodegradable consumer electronics waste. The "transient electronics" function for a pre-determined duration — ranging from minutes to years — and then decompose in water. The researchers printed the circuits using soluble conductors on nanometer-thick silicon, controlling the rate of decay by coating the electronics with silk. The thicker the coating, the longer the circuit lasts."

cool .... just dont let it get wet prematurely!! haha
