A new conductive ink can be printed directly on the surface of a patient’s head and measure their brainwaves. Since the emergence of temporary, skin-attached electronic tattoos more than a decade ago—and their evolution to measure heart activity, track pneumonia, measure stress levels, and more—researchers have grappled with a major logistical challenge: How can they be applied to hairy skin without losing performance? To figure out this challenge, researchers borrowed from regular tattoos.

Researchers have developed a way to blast the molecules in plastics and other materials with a laser to break them down into their smallest parts for future reuse. The method involves laying these materials on top of two-dimensional materials called transition metal dichalcogenides and then lighting them up. The discovery has the potential to improve how we dispose of plastics that are nearly impossible to break down with today’s technologies.

The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been blowing through the semiconductor industry and Broadcom continues to ride the wave. The California-based tech company unveiled a stellar second-quarter performance on Thursday, exceeding analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue. The company also announced a highly anticipated 10-for-1 stock split that will take effect July 15, a move that echoes a similar decision by fellow chipmaker Nvidia earlier in June.
