MC10 Electronic Tatto A team of scientists at US-based body tech research firm MC10 has developed flexible electronic circuits that can be worn as temporary tattoos on the skin. The tattoos – which are made from silicon and can last up to two weeks before rubbing off – can be used to monitor temperature, hydration and strain. Based on research by MC10 co-founder and materials scientist John Rogers from the University of Illinois, the biostamp could be used to monitor patients, removing the need to attach them to bulky machines for long periods of time. The patch could also be used to maintain optimum hydration levels for athletes or measure UV levels to protect against sun damage
