Carmel Majidi: Electronic Tattoos for Wearable Computing: Stretchable, Robust, and Inexpensive

Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Carmel Majidi discusses electronic tattoos, which are circuits made of silver nanoparticles printed on the same film used for children’s tattoos. These electronic tattoos have applications that range from health care to personal electronic devices to gaming.

So, how long before Goverments make this technology mandatory for every citizen? Under the guise of public safety.

it can fund itself if u can mass produce
luminescent or glowing tattoos leading
to development of bio mobile displays

[oliverpackham]

Does the resistance change as it's stretched?

[protection]

Can you be tracked if you wear these? Can they be removed? If so, how? Can the quantum dot vaccines be removed if necessary such as if it has unexpected adverse effects on the person?

[danishmumtaz]

From where these circuits get power to operate?

Why is he conveniently leaving out what kind of liquid metal?

[tanmaysharma]

would love to try ... if team is reading my comment then i request them to try this tech on me .. and i have really cool ideas regarding tattoo electronics.

When these become mainstream and cheaper i'm gonna get one that has led lights

Liquid metal alloy huh? Hmm, i wonder how much of it is iron or better yet mercury.
