This is blogspam from https://www.inverse.com/innovation/integrating-electronics-w...

The source article has more useful info and actually defines "PEDOT":

> The polymer coating is technically called poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), or PEDOT. It is both electrically and ionically active, which the authors explain helps lower its impedance (aka its opposition to flowing electric charge) by three to four orders of magnitude compared to electronics without this coating.

> Researchers can effectively add any peptides, antibodies, or even DNA they want to these modified PEDOTs, Martin explains.

Wow, I love how the science fiction I read as a child is becoming reality.
