Intelligent surfaces : Electrochemical reactions can be induced on a conducting surface placed in an electric field. In this way, a bipolar electrode is formed, and this effect can be used to create molecular gradients (see picture). The major advantage of the technique is that the electrode can be of virtually any thickness, shape, and material—as long as it is conductive.
