Laser-Induced Graphene Enables Intelligent Artificial Throat

Researchers at Tsinghua University have developed an intelligent artificial throat based on laser-induced graphene. The intelligent device both detects and generates sound in a single unit. The biocompatible artificial throat, which attaches to the larynx, is designed to produce recognizable and controllable sounds. According to the researchers, led by Prof. Tian-Ling Ren in the university's Institute of Microelectronics, the device is a new application of graphene in the field of wearable electronics and is expected to have a significant impact in biology, speech recognition, and other fields.
