(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic skin, or e-skin, is an emerging technology that aims to mimic the sensing capabilities of human skin using flexible electronic materials and sensors. An exciting ...

Devices and sensors are getting smaller with each passing year, but some are still constrained by the need for bulky batteries or other inconvenient power sources. However, if a new proof-of-concept ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Human skin is remarkably complex, containing an array of receptors that provide detailed sensory information about our environment through the sense of touch. One unique feature ...

Researchers have developed a method to make adaptive and eco-friendly sensors that can be directly and imperceptibly printed onto a wide range of biological surfaces, whether that's a finger or a ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Researchers have developed a method to make adaptive and eco-friendly sensors that can be directly and imperceptibly printed onto a wide range of biological surfaces, whether that’s a finger or a ...

The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many computer scientists insane: a noisy stream of activity spikes that may be ...
