Tattoo

Researchers have developed an ultrathin electronic tattoo capable of reproducing the localized sensation of touch in its wearer. The device has the potential to be used to manufacture haptic displays and devices for healthcare and robotics.

Scientists have developed a microneedle patch that can be self-administered and painlessly deposit a tattoo onto skin in minutes. The technology is proposed for simple medical or animal uses but cosmetic uses are possible in the future.

Scientists in Europe have leveraged cutting edge OLED technology to produce a first-of-a-kind tattoo that could be used to monitor different metrics of physical human performance, the freshness of food, or even prevent sunburn.

Applying the wearable sensors of the future could be as simple as sketching out a shape on your arm, according to new research that investigates the potential for bioelectronics to be applied through graphite pencils and office copy paper.

A ​team at Tel Aviv University's (TAU's) Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology​ have developed an alternative​ to the invasive needle electrodes used in electromyotherapy, in the form of an electronic "tattoo" that unobtrusively monitors muscle activity.​

​JC Sheitan Tenet is a southpaw tattoo artist, not because he's left-handed but because he lost his right one 22 years ago so has no choice. Until now. A collaboration with visual artist JL Gonzal has resulted in a custom-designed "biomechanical prosthesis" that has a built-in rotary inker.

Leveraged the technology behind a temporary tattoo capable of continuously monitoring lactate levels in a person's sweat, researchers have created a biobattery powered by perspiration that could lead to small electronic devices being powered by sweat.

The Dattoo concept involves wearable computing devices, that would be printed on the user's skin and powered by their body.
