Smart Tattoo Detects Early Skin Cancer via Heat Signatures
Researchers in Montreal have developed a temporary “smart tattoo” designed to detect micromelanomas at an invisible stage by mapping thermal variations on the skin. The technology, known as SMEAR-ULM, utilizes microneedles to place temperature-sensitive nanoparticles under the skin, offering a potential non-invasive alternative to traditional biopsies for early-stage skin cancer screening. The Mechanics of the … Read more
