Electronic skin tattoo (Mark of the Beast?)

A hair-thin electronic patch that adheres to the skin like a temporary tattoo could transform medical sensing, computer gaming and even spy operations, according to a US study published Thursday.

The micro-electronics technology, called an epidermal electronic system (EES), was developed by an international team of researchers from the United States, China and Singapore, and is described in the journal Science.

"It's a technology that blurs the distinction between electronics and biology," said co-author John Rogers, a professor in materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

"Our goal was to develop an electronic technology that could integrate with the skin in a way that is mechanically and physiologically invisible to the user."

.....

Less than 50-microns thick -- slightly thinner than a human hair -- the devices are able to adhere to the skin without glue or sticky material.

"Forces called van der Waals interactions dominate the adhesion at the molecular level, so the electronic tattoos adhere to the skin without any glues and stay in place for hours," said the study.

Northwestern University engineer Yonggang Huang said the patch was "as soft as the human skin."

Who needs RFID when you can get a tag that sticks to your skin for hours, wont be long before it can stay on permanently. People wouldn't object to getting a electronic patch that binds to the skin without any pain. RFID has to be injected with a needle and the area numbed. Think things are getting closer now.

"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name." Revelation 13:16-17

What would be nice is if they decided to work this in to a way to help burn victims get their "skin" back. Just think if you could slip a new arm skin on a person without having to do all the skin grafts.

Not only painless but invisible as well! This could be spun to look attractive to the masses!
However, could the "mark" of the beast be invisible? I am unfamiliar with biblical description of it....

They have attached it to temporary tattoos (the kind that wear off after a few days). So that's visible. I could definitely see people getting into wearing them if they can improve the game technology aspect of it. Imagine "Call of Duty" clan tattoos.

sounds like an update of the bracelet people wear at hospitals. short term use, easy on/off. could also be used for day care centers and childrens party places where adults have to be matched to the children for security purposes.

Where did that come from?

I believe it was in deference to the OP's quote from Revelations. As for the temporary tattoo something that needs to be reapplied every few days in order to be able to clock in at work, open your house, use "ATM" transfers, communication devices, that is a recipe for control like no other, what Government wouldn't leap at that. The Medical benefits are for certain just that remarkable, life saving world changing, but as all tools If it is applied to malevolent purposes it becomes a threat. What gamer wouldn't kill to have lightning quick game response and no controller to boot Id love that, but not at the added possibility that total populace control was a reality along with it, what if "they" could figure out a way to get that strip to not just keep your personal data, but record what you did in the days between "Necessary" applications.

O actually watched this on the news this morning. I am or have been somewhat of a skeptic where the mark and the beast are considered. I was raised Baptist so I know what this possibly regards to. I never thought our S.S #'s or a chip would be the mark, but as I watched this being shown I got a alarming feeling. This one feels so real then any other theory out there.

Perhaps nanochips in the ink?

Not this technology, this one is only temporary and peelable. There is another technology which is more permanent and definitely more dangerous. It is used to monitor glucose level, and is introduced two years ago.

I can't wait! No more credit cards, no more carrying cash, no more ID's, jut a simple patch that you can put on. I wonder when they can do a cell phone app or a sensor for your front door! Of course they (the govenment) would never ever use it to track, monitor, trace any and everything you do.

Well, I can tell you that it is NOT the mark of the beast.


That whole thing... Well, okay. It comes from Revelations. Written by John. Revelations was a piece of propaganda. You see, as you may know, Rome used to not be so crazy about the growing cult that was Christianity. Emperor Nero, was not a fan... He considered them an enemy and they considered him an enemy...


The mark of the beast is a sort of.... Secret message.... It was meant to be a message that only followers of Christianity could understand..... The message, pointed at Nero as a great enemy. One that should be destroyed because he wants to destroy you.....

So.... The mark of the beast is just a 2,000 year old stab at a political rival...... One hell of a stab to! 2,000 years later and people STILL think he is the anti-christ.

The christian Bible declares in the end times there will be false stories to justify the actions of the beast. The beast would first have to fool the mass before he could attenpt the take over. It is all iin the old and new testimates.

Which has been proven to be quite a flawed text today!

Even if I trusted a bank right now...I wouldn't take any bible scripture to it!

hey, call me whatever you want to, but I would love to have a tag like this or something, that connects my brain directly to the vast internet, or whatever comes after it. I don't view tags as something to be scared of, but rather something that would make me more than just a human . Just think, I can just think of anything, and the answer would immediately pop up directly into my mind, how cewl is that???

I think any mark or tattoo or chip that can allow our every move to be tracked by big brother is a scary possible reality.
I don't really believe in the religious idea of it, but from a security and personal freedoms standpoint I think its a bad idea.
However people are already making it really easy to be tracked and so many people are checking in places. I could track the movements of half of my friends, see what they are spending their money on, and know whether or not it is a good time to rob their house thanks to twitter, foursquare, facebook etc etc

These things will be presented in such an appealing way..keep your kids safe, play a better more realistic game, leave your credit card at home. No doubt many sheeple will line up!

I've been telling people for 20 years that this tech, electronic, light-up tattoos, was on it's way, just a matter of time.
I don't know about the whole "mark of the beast" thing, but it's nice to be right about something for a change.
It's amazing, the crap we can do now, and the more we advance, the faster we advance.
Boggles the mind, it does.

Why are you people constantly trying to cry revelations?

The people on this site are just apocalypse junkies.
Technological advances can't just be technological advances for some reason, now they have to be part of Satan's plan.
