Drawing circuit boards on human skin? Producing electricity? Now you can!
Students at the Royal College of Art in England have created a new type of paint which can conduct electricity and be applied directly to the skin. The paint is carbon-based, water-soluble, and can create electronic circuits when activated. The ink itself is able to produce enough electricity to power small devices like LEDs, and it’s creators hope it will one day be used to help with the dance and music performances, computer interfaces, and medical devices.
I for one could think of exciting things to do with this. Kinky 'close the circuit' games. I mean you paint everyone with different connectors and points on different parts of the body. Spin a wheel and decides what connects where and voila! Hours of fun! C'mon who don't love seeing the bulb light up? huh?! Throw in a buzzer for forfeits. Endless possibilities.
