Metal conductors can be formed directly onto human skin, according to an international science team which found a way to sinter silver nano-particles into silver conductors at room temperature. The process was used to measure skin temperature and humidity, and to form electrodes for ECGs and conductors to LEDs for blood oxygen measurements (see photo). ...
