An American scientist has developed a technique to electronics to stop in a temporary tattoo. This can be disabled via a tattoo on their throat with a small microphone electronics to operate. The tattoo also has medical applications.
For the electronic tattoo to make it possible, the hardware components are reduced to the size of bumps on the skin, writes ScienceMag. The components are held together by an elastomer, a plastic that is in the field of elasticity similar to the human skin.
For the temporary tattoos with electronics, various applications are conceivable, says John Rogers of the University of Illinois in the United States. So can disabled persons electronics to control up, down, left, right’ to call for a microphone via a temporary tattoo on the throat. Also, patients be observed with a tattoo on the chest. This cardiometers with tape stuck unnecessary. Through wireless signals, presumably via wi-fi or 3g, the tattoo results doorseinen to a doctor.
The technology is not yet ready for general use: according to Rogers, there must still be refined. In addition, would the technique in the long term can be developed to the flow of enzymes in the body to keep an eye on. “We can border between technology and biology eventually do fade,” said Rogers.
