Researchers in Austin , Texas , have created a liquid ink that can be sprayed onto a person’s scalp, forming an ultra-thin electronic tattoo.

The ink flows effortlessly through hair to reach the scalp, where it dries into a thin, flexible film.

Once in place, the tattoo acts as a sensor, picking up brain signals with precision.

In recent years , e-tattoos have made their way onto athletes’ chests, tracking heart rhythms, and onto people’s arms, monitoring muscle fatigue. Now, they’re climbing the ladder—straight to the brain. For now, the liquid ink is confined to the lab, but its creators see a world of possibilities ahead. “E-tattoos represent a new frontier in wearable technology,” says Lu . “This is just the beginning of what we can achieve.”.
