E-skin

Believe it or not, your smart phone could one day be replaced by an electronic display laminated to the back of your hand, if the inventors of a new ultra thin "e-skin" have their way.
A Japanese team had managed to design the most lifelike artificial skin ever created. An average adult contains roughly twenty square feet of skin and two million pain receptors. It can be either woven into clothes or tattooed onto the body. The electronic skin is as light as a feather and nearly indestructible. It can be used to monitor vital signs and even help to predict future heart attacks. In the future, the team hopes that e-skin will be able to detect the presence of tumors.
