Researchers there are developing silicon-and-silk implantable devices which sit under the skin like a tattoo. Already implanted into mice, these tattoos could carry LEDs, turning your skin into a screen.<\/p>\n<p>The silk substrate onto which the chips are mounted eventually dissolves away inside the body, leaving just the electronics behind. The silicon chips are around the length of a small grain of rice \u2014 about 1 millimeter, and just 250 nanometers thick. The sheet of silk will keep them in place, molding to the shape of the skin when saline solution is added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 2009 This is awesome \ud83d\udc4c \ud83d\udc4f The title character of Ray Bradbury\u2019s book The Illustrated Man is covered with moving, shifting tattoos.
