Still Waters Posted March 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The Rogers Research Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has given us stick-on electronic tattoos and stretchable batteries, but now they’ve outdone themselves by creating the first electronic sensor to be printed directly onto human skin. The printable sensors are an extension of the groups electronic tattoos and can measure skin hydration, temperature and electric signals from muscle and brain and activity. http://news.discover...skin-130312.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rashore Posted March 13, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Likely the excuse they will use to put them on newborns (coming to a theatre near you) Well according to the article, they flake off after two weeks, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did do this for newborns while still in the hospital.
