Your Invisible Electronic Tattoo
August 19, 2011
Funded by the US military, an international team of reseachers have developed a hair-thin electronic patch that adheres to the skin like an "invisible" stick-on tattoo.
The tattoos are less than 50 microns thick, which means they are much thinner than a human hair and they adhere to your skin without glue or sticky material.
The wireless "snake-shaped" devices are nearly weightless and require so little power, they can be fuelled with miniature solar collectors or by picking up stray or transmitted electromagnetic radiation. Translation? No maintenance.
WHO FUNDED THE INVISIBLE TATTOO?
Who else? The US Military, the US National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy and the Beckman Institute.
MARK OF THE BEAST
The micro-electronics technology, called an epidermal electronic system (EES), was developed by an international team of researchers from the United States, China and Singapore.
"It's a technology that blurs the distinction between electronics and biology," said co-author John Rogers, a professor in materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “Our goal was to develop an electronic technology that could integrate with the skin in a way that is mechanically and physiologically invisible to the user”.
The technology relies on the epidermal electronic system (EES), which combines miniature sensors, light-emitting tiny transmitters and receivers and networks of carefully crafted wire filaments.
THE PROPAGANDA
Despite all the "benefits hype", these ultra-thin, self-adhesive tattoos can be made into the "Mark of the Beast".
“The mechanics behind the design for our serpentine-shaped electronics makes the tattoo device as soft as the human skin,” says Yonggang Huang, the lead project researcher and Northwestern University engineer.
Here's how they are selling us the technology: It will eliminate the need for bulky hospital equipment. The tattoo can be used by patients instead of bulky electrodes to monitor brain, heart and muscle tissue activity.
"This type of device might provide utility for those who suffer from certain diseases of the larynx," said Rogers. "It could also form the basis of a sub-vocal communication capability, suitable for covert or other uses."When placed on the throat, it allows users to operate a voice-activated video game with better than 90 percent accuracy.
Rogers and Huang have been working together on the New World Order Mark Of The Beast technology for the past six years.
