Technique offers way to add electronic best before tags to food

 A group of researchers who previously demonstrated that graphene can be made out of chocolate, dead insects and even dog excrement has now used lasers to burn the 2D material onto toast. The team claim the method could be used to embed electronic tags or sensors directly in food sources, as the graphene that is produced is conductive and antimicrobial.
