This week's new TED Talks Can we make tattoos both beautiful and functional? Nanotechnologist Carson Bruns shares his work creating high-tech tattoos that react to their environment -- like color-changing ink that can tell you when you're getting a sunburn -- and shows exciting ways they can deliver real-time information about our health. Watch » Try talking to yourself without opening your mouth, by simply saying words internally. What if you could search the internet like that -- and get an answer back? In the first live public demo of his new technology, TED Fellow Arnav Kapur introduces AlterEgo: a wearable AI device with the potential to let you silently talk to and get information from a computer system, like a voice inside your head. Watch » In an astonishing talk and tech demo, software researcher Doug Roble debuts "DigiDoug": a real-time, 3-D, digital rendering of his likeness that's accurate down to the scale of pores and wrinkles. Powered by an inertial motion capture suit, deep neural networks and enormous amounts of data, DigiDoug renders the real Doug's emotions (and even how his blood flows and eyelashes move) in striking detail. Learn more about how this exciting tech was built -- and its applications in movies, virtual assistants and beyond.

JOIN US IN the comments! “ I live quite near a junior middle school, and happened to see some schoolboys playing with e-cigarettes last year. I had no idea it was harmful at that time. Until one day, my husband came home with fruit-flavored e-cigarettes, and even I liked that flavor very much. Then I realized that it's addictive and must be harmful. But there are not many reports on it, and I can't persuade my husband to give it up. Now we heard your talk and decided to do something to let the school know more about the harm it brings to students' bodies." Commenter: Ping Wang Talk: Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin What you should know about vaping and e-cigarettes
