  • I'm glad you mentioned both of those things. I still have 2 segments of graphite in my palm, and hasn't migrated at all in over 5 years or rejected, although that's not the proper term in this instance. Graphite alone is biocompatible, graphene far more so as the goal is to have all the carbon atoms bonded in a perfect…
  • Graphene is far simpler than a diamond coating, and due to the lattice structure will run into the same problems as diamond but far less severely due to it's tiny size and lower tensile strength, manufacturing requires less expensive equipment. It's also far cheaper material wise and manufacturing wise. We effectively have…
  • Diamond is a fascinating idea, but not feasible. It would be massively expensive material wise, then there's the insanely difficult production to factor in... And on top of that diamond will be even more difficult than TiN in regards to the tiny molecular imperfections that he mentioned. Diamond is crystalline, and any…
  • Me too, a successful payment chip will be revolutionary and will be the first stage in some incredible implants. That said, the mountains he needs to cross are large and it likely won't be feasible for another few years. I don't know if we have a rule against link sharing other forums, so if we do i'll claim ignorance lol.…
  • This isn't the first thread you've started asking this literal same thing, it's a copy and paste. Please don't do that, especially so close to each other. As Sandra mentioned, the xBT works well for body temperature, although location is critical as varying extremities are for more variable in body temperature, and the…
  • Oops, than I retract my last statement except that i'm working on my own regardless. Do you know if he is still working on this project? His profile says he's been inactive since may 2018
  • Unfortunately it appears as if the inventor, Alex Smith, has been inactive for the past year. I'm not sure we can expect any further developments on this from him, but that doesn't mean this is a dead project. I've been reading through the pages, doing some research, and am purchasing some supplies in a little bit. Let's…
  • As much as I would like to assure you it's impossible for it to migrate to her heart, I can't. It's incredibly unlikely, and will almost definitely not kill her, but subdermal migration is certainly a real concern with any kind of implant. The likelihood of it making to the heart is like winning the lottery, and such a…
  • Update?
  • To further on my above comment, as Cassox mentioned, the primary concern with infection comes from the object being enclosed in flesh and the tools used not generally ambient bacteria after the procedure. Ambient bacteria is obviously certainly a thing, I don't recommend sticking your hand in a sewer, but the biggest…
  • I second this with every fiber of my being Maceration is primarily only a concern when application is abused or the cream is particularly inhospitable to the point of decreasing healing. Personally i'd stick with iodine during the procedure and very clean bandages regularly changed instead of antibac cream, but to each his…
  • A basic Duo Skin Tattoo cost $300 and last approximately 24 hours (Since it's simply laid on the skin, not embedded) which is not particularly financially viable. There needs to be far more re usability to the "tattoo" for it to be a long term use product, that or further development in making it a transdermal implant. Duo…
  • Concentration of lidocaine from OTC options is certainly an option, although contaminates (Usually intentional ones through the manufacturers, FDA, DEA, etc) are a major concern so do intensive research on all of the components and you're knowledgeable in the science behind the extraction methods. Biochem is my interest…
  • This is where we are still kind of an 'underground' community, we deal in the relative grey areas of many subjects which causes many people to resort to blacklisting in order to prevent bad press. Another unfortunate implication of us dealing in relatively grey but generally white hat operations is we require very high…
  • What's the exact specifications of the PMMA and has the TiN coating been tested for structural malformations?
  • PMMA or poly(methyl methacrylate) is an immunologically inert or biocompatible glass. In fact it is quite literally plexiglass, and is effectively the same material used in the RFID cases. As with all materials, there are alloys and purity levels and different ones have strengths for different applications. This is…
  • *I came across this earlier while trying to make a persuasive essay: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25757618 Now I apologize for two unnecessary posts
  • I agree, the term incites a black market and inexperienced connotation although it does not inherently mean either. Do you have any public repositories of your data and publications that don't require searching my college's database? I came across this earlier while trying to make creating a persuasive essay:…
  • Necro'ing in order to get some fresh opinions
  • Any possible way I could purchase a few magnets off you and run a study down here? I have a few people interested from other projects, have experience implanting myself, and have a few friends in the medical industry/med school
  • I would love to be involved to any extent, but unfortunately I'm a Texan with too many obligations to make it to California
  • The magnets, while undergoing the magnetization procedure, are highly secured. It's not even uncommon for magnets to occasionally crumble, depending on the ratio of NdFeB, size of magnet, and manufacturing faults. The level of pressure the magnet would undergo would likely damage tissue, and not even be very effective…
  • You can't tell people that are helping you understand what you actually need to research and understand that they're being negative. I didn't say you were stupid, infact keep researching because it's interesting. Just take into account we aren't a type three civilization yet.
  • I understand, and that technique would work if you were providing a stimulus to say a muscle contraction. But because of the vast amount of factors and the simple fact that it will be terribly unpredictable even on the advanced BCI level due to neuroplasticity, it's not just currently beyond your reach it's beyond current…
  • Where do you live? I can find you a supplier. I can't find the links at the moment unfortunately.
  • Copying and pasting from the closed thread: As a good rule of thumb, don't. Perhaps attempt animal testing of your own, document the procedure and results, and determine physical risk. Of course even if the physical risk isn't immediately obvious i'd recommend not experimenting on yourself, who knows if this will increase…
  • Unfortunately there's a lot more that goes into it biologically, such an implant wouldn't function. You have to take into account the physical aspect along with the psychological aspect, this being it's effect physiologically. Typically sexual dysfunction is caused by familiarization, a very basic and fundamental…
  • As a good rule of thumb, don't. Perhaps attempt animal testing of your own, document the procedure and results, and determine physical risk. Of course even if the physical risk isn't immediately obvious i'd recommend not experimenting on yourself, who knows if this will increase your chances of skin cancer.
  • I just re-read this thread and I just noticed it comes off as very "we the people." The intention isn't to decrease the power mods have or to increase the power of the users nor one over the other but to create transparency regarding the process. I don't even necessarily think we need more or new mods, infact I agree with…
