…with simple, fairground tattoos, nanoengineers have created a highly sensitive, wearable biosensor that monitors electrolyte and metabolite levels in sweat to assess the metabolic health of a patient, and, in particular, their stamina. The temporary electrochemical tattoo relies on a carbon fiber backbone so that it bends with the skin…
