Researchers have successfully developed an ultra-sensitive pressure sensor for electronic skin modeled after the nervous system in the human brain. This technology is applicable to future devices, ...

Scientists at a German research lab have created an ultra-thin, flexible electronic skin (e-skin) that can detect and track magnetic fields using a single global sensor. Unlike previous designs that ...

While most current technological advances in robotics concern artificial intelligence, this time a team of Chinese researchers worked on a completely different area. Their research, ...

A new electronic skin sensor uses magnetic cilia to detect both pressure and magnetic fields for applications in health and touchless interfaces. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic skin, or e-skin, ...

This advancement addresses a critical challenge in wearable technology -- the need for durability in daily use. Traditional electronic skin devices often fail when scratched or damaged, limiting their ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Originally developed for robotics, e-skins imitate the properties of real skin. They can give robots a sense of touch or replace lost senses in humans. Some can even detect chemical substances or ...

Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands like a glove, enabling robots to detect information about their surroundings in a way ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The accurate measurement of vital signs is fundamental to medical diagnosis and treatment. Blood pressure and body temperature, in particular, serve as critical indicators for a ...
