Abstrakt:	The article informs about the potential of 3D printing biocompatible electronic circuits directly into tissue, which could revolutionize the development of implants and prosthetics. Topic include the challenges of using traditional inorganic electrodes in medical devices, such as pacemakers, and introduces a smart ink material that can be 3D-printed into tissues to create conductive structures for electronic applications, including stimulating neurons in live tissue.
