High tech tattoo from ultra-thin graphene

One day, you can stick a temporary tattoo on your skin as tiny layers of wire that can illuminate or interact like a display, the tattoo is made of graphene hybrid material.

>>> Tattoos are overpowered

Graphene is termed "the world's most flat material , " which is a plate-shaped, carbon-bonded, interlocking hexagon. Basically, it was the first two-dimensional material ever made. Not only is the thinnest material in the world, it is also the most durable material ever known, about 100 times stronger than steel.

Since a graphene sheet is only one atom thick, it is almost transparent, so it may play a major role in the future development of electronic display technology. In the past, the manufacture and application of "strange and ultra-thin" materials still faced significant obstacles, but with the advancement of technology, now producing it as well as hybrid materials. Graphene has become easier.

The introduction of graphene hybrid materials for electronic tattoos is becoming more and more feasible. Not only that, thanks to its transparency and elasticity, it can work normally even when stretched under conditions such as on human skin.

In addition, in the role of pure aesthetics, the material is provided by Korean scientists from organizations such as the Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), the Korea Institute of Advanced Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Institute for Electronic and Telecommunication Research (ETRI) applications for a variety of purposes. It can be used as a biosensor for health monitoring or for making flexible or curved displays depending on the purpose.
