Engineers at Penn State University have developed a conductive ink that can be applied directly to the skin like paint and thus functions as a full-fledged electrode. Wanqing Zhang and Larry Cheng are presenting their work in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Unlike rigid metal electrodes or the hydrogel sensors used for years, the new ink remains reliably adhered to the skin even in the event of movement, sweat and body hair,…
