Japan's ultra-thin 'sticker thermometer'

Recently, a thin thermometer in Japan, it like a sticker to stick on the skin can accurate feedback out of the body's temperature, is very convenient, and has wide application prospect. Scientists are exploring a variety of development patterns, such as to use the technology to monitor the newborn's body temperature, or to whether monitoring postoperative wound infection occurred. The ultra-thin thermal film thermometer by scientists at the university of Texas at the university of Tokyo in Japan and the United States joint research and development, made of smoky quartz stone materials, thickness of 15 microns, not only can bend at will. Sensitivity up to 0. 02 ℃, response rate is as high as 100 ms. Experiments have established that even if the repeated measurements close to 2000 times, also won't lose reproducibility. Sensor has not yet been integrated in the power supply circuit and read, but if you use the team before the development of technology, the principle of power supply circuit and can be integrated on the readout circuit. In the future, the team will further reduce the thickness, but increasing the number of repeated measurements, commercially available for three years.
