  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🫁🧪 #MIT engineers created a #hydrogel with microscopic air channels inspired by human #lungs.

    The material is 70% #water but lets #oxygen and water vapor pass through 10 times better than conventional hydrogels. In small human tests skin stayed cool and dry during #exercise while silicone patches caused sweating and a 6.5°C temperature rise.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Engineers at #PennState have developed a conductive #ink that works like face paint to create customizable electrodes for monitoring #heart, #muscle, and #brain activity.

    The #water-based ink dries on #skin within minutes, conforms closely for more accurate readings, and can be washed off and reapplied. In tests, the sensors tracked #ECG for 12 hours and fed muscle signals to a robotic #prosthetic.

  8. The intricate, clandestine art of Japan’s traditional tattoos

    “In the past there was a hierarchical society – there was aristocracy and the samurai at the top, then at the lower echelons it was farmers, merchants and artisans,” Okazaki explains. …

  10. Tattoos are NOT benign decorative choices.

    I am a former aesthetician. Skin care was my gig for 17 years. I've always known tattoos are a stress on the body particularly the lymph system.

    These two MDs are cautious but, at least, start to open up the conversation about the safety of pushing ink into the body's largest organ. (Yep. The skin is an organ.)

    Read the comments. Some very good first hand stories.

  12. OMG. I saw the tiny frog in the aquarium shed it's skin and eat it.

    No photo, so an attempt at a description:

    Imagine a dude in a tyvek suit. Now imagine him reaching behind his shoulders and grabbing the suit. He shoves the tyvek suit into his mouth and chomps and swallows while at the same time grabbing more of the suit and feeding it into his mouth.

    The whole process lasts maybe ten seconds. Then the frog happily swims away.

    Why does it remind me of Mitch McConnell? 😃

  14. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔥🩹 Every year, millions of people suffer severe burns that lead to permanent, painful scarring.

    Researchers are developing 3D-bioprinted #skin made from a patient’s own #cells and a specialized gel. The living barrier tricks the body into growing healthy new tissue instead of rigid scar tissue.
