"Electronic skin" that could be attached to a patient's body has been developed by scientists.
Electronic sensors in the skin could monitor brain waves, muscle movement and even facilitate touch sensitivity on artificial limbs. "What we are trying to do here is to really reshape and redefine electronics ... to look a lot more like the human body, in this case the surface layers of the skin," says John A. Rogers.The researchers embedded electronic sensors in a film thinner than the diameter of a human hair, which was placed on a polyester backing like those used for the temporary tattoos popular with children. The result was a sensor that was flexible enough to move with the skin and would adhere without adhesives.
