Posted October 14, 2010; 12:00 p.m. New developments in plastic
electronics potentially could change the quality of human life
in a wide range of ways, according to Princeton engineering
professor Yueh-Lin (Lynn) Loo. "Imagine tinted windows that can
also generate power during the day," Loo says in this video
highlighting her research in plastic electronics. "Imagine
disposable sensors that would change color if the water source
is contaminated, or yet think of smart plastic patches that can
monitor your health and deliver medication when you're sick. The
possibilities are endless." Loo was one of five young scientists
who spoke in September at the World Economic Forum's "Annual
