New Polyaniline Created for Flexible, Pliable RFID

This news from Live Science arrived just this Saturday. It'll probably tell you more than you ever wanted to know about atomic properties of metal and so forth, but it's an interesting development.

A new type of plastic-based polyaniline, a polymer that has the same characteristics as metal, was unveiled by a team of South Korean scientists. The polyaniline they made can conduct electricity at ultra-cold temperatures, and duplicates traits heretofore found only in pure metallic materials... It is expected that the new material could be used making flexible RFID tags to be embedded in cloth or other flexible consumer goods...
