Tattoo You

Scientists and engineers in China, Singapore, and the United States have developed a temporary tattoo–like electronic device capable of sensing electrical signals such as brain waves and muscle activity and then transmitting the data. To make the epidermal electronics, they used  techniques pioneered at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, that allow the printing of inorganic semiconductors and metal interconnects on stretchable surfaces. The patch sticks to the skin for up to 24 hours, even without glue, and it draws all its power from a mix of induction and small embedded solar cells.

keywords: inorganic semiconductors (无机半导体), metal interconnects on stretchable surfaces (可伸缩表面的金属互联)

A semiconductor made from a non-carbon based material such as silicon, gallium or arsenide. Inorganic semiconductors are used in all logic and memory chips. Contrast with organic semiconductor.
