Developed by Royal College of Art students Becky Pilditch, Matt Johnson, Isabel Lizardi and Bibi Nelson, this non-toxic conductive ink, called “Bare Conductive,” seems like it’d be great for electronic musicians and performers of all kinds. Via Fashioning Technology.

Paul Gsays:
Juddering by the photographs on the bareconductive website it does not adhere very well or is probably too brittle. Either way, it looks as if a bit more development is needed.
Noah Buddysays:
I wonder if this will lead to a new style. Similar to piercings and tattoos. If you had several piercings near each other, could you use through-hole components?
Can’t wait for the acupuncture LED’s.

I was thinking this would be best used in place of those expensive electrode pads used with TENS units. This way you could run voltage along the entire length of your spine, leg, or whatever without having to place multiple pads.
Jonsays:
This is NOT safe AT ALL!
Of course, they forgot the current-limiting resistor!
