Caption

Soft, low-profile epidermal microfluidic systems adhere conformally to the skin and accommodate skin deformations. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Jan. 25th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by J.T. Reeder at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, and colleagues was titled, "Waterproof, electronics-enabled, epidermal microfluidic devices for sweat collection, biomarker analysis, and thermography in aquatic settings."
