Did you ever want to get a tattoo but your parents don't let you? Well I promise you that when this tattoo comes out on market they will 'beg' you (this is not a promise...) to 'wear it'. This will be a teeth tattoo but not an actual shape like hearts or names etc. but something that will prevent you to get sick! Isn't that amazing? Mike McAlphine- University Assistant Professor- says that it can sensor the harmful bacterias and informs your doctor with a wireless system. In order to create the 'sensor' they used Graphene, which is really sticky and sensitive, peptides, that attracts the bacteria, and the glue type of thing that they bacterias get stuck on. You will tell me now that " I am afraid to go at the dentist.." well I also don't like pain but I would definitely put it because it is painful.. There is just one more small detail that we have to consider! Scientists have to actually make it smaller in order to fit in human teeth... but it has been tested at COWS!!! This would be really useful for soldiers in battles so they don't get a diseases that can be harmful but deadly. I hope that we will have it soon in market and can use it because it is really useful but Mike still needs some commercializing...
