Along with its wood panels, LignoSat also incorporates traditional aluminium structures and electronic components.

"Skin-interfaced stretchable RF devices that can seamlessly conform to skin morphology and monitor key physiological signals require critical design of the individual material layouts and the electronic components to yield mechanical and electrical properties and performance that do not disrupt a user's experience," Avila said.

Exports of semiconductors, electronic components and computer equipment from Taiwan to the U.S. more than tripled from 2018 to reach nearly $37 billion last year.

This swelled the vPCB's plastic without damaging the glass sheets and electronic components, letting the researchers extract these for reuse.

If they aren't repaired, they can be separated from their electronic components.
