WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY --- WIRELESS TOOTH TATTO
Some tech just sounds too good to be true. A removable,
wireless sensor that adheres to dental enamel and can detect trace amounts of
harmful bacteria just might fall into the too-much-information category for the
squeamish among us.
This
wireless tooth tattoo us used to detected potential tooth decay and bacteria. The researchers created the tattoo by
bundling the silk and gold with graphene — an extremely thin sheet of carbon in
which atoms are arranged in a honeycomb lattice. The material's unique
properties allowed the researchers to construct a small, flexible device able
to detect bacteria at a much higher sensitivity level than traditional methods.
In tests, the researchers detected samples of bacteria that can cause surgical
infections and others that can lead to stomach ulcer.
