Professors John Rogers and Yonggang Huang have collaborated to design and engineer an electronic tattoo, a micro-electronic health monitor that adheres to the surface of human skin. Their work is an example of how collaboration is often a key part of the innovation process. “Science of Innovation” is produced in partnership with the National Science Foundation and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
