 tattoos, nanotatoos, nanotechnology, monitor, goldJohns Hopkins bimolecular engineers have developed complex nano-tattoos that adhere to individual cells and measure function.  These flexible nano-tattoos may harbor optical and electronic sensors and are constructed in arrays using gold micro-wiring.  The microarrays are attached to a dissolvable hydrogel film with molecular glues.  The tattoos are non-toxic and remain on the cells for prolonged intervals.  These tattooed gold microcircuits will drive biomonitoring to new heights…..someday soon.
