Stretchy electronic tattoo technique suits prototyping

Seeking a fast route to stretchable circuits with integrated electronics for on-skin use, a team from Portrugal and the US have developed a technique that avoids clean rooms and photo lithography. Instead, the required conductive pattern is printed onto temporary tattoo paper with an ordinary desktop laser printer. Next, a silver pasted is rubbed onto ...
