Skin rash from diabetes medical devices is common, under-recognized, and expected to increase as device use increases.

When aiming for stretchable, health-monitoring, skin-like sensor sheets, materials with demanding properties are required: they need to be flexible, biocompatible, and electrically conductive at the ...

S cientists have developed a new type of electronic "skin" that could give robots the ability to "feel" different tactile sensations like pokes, prods and temperature changes — and even the feeling of ...

Inspired by the human sense of touch, Youcan Yan, a CNRS postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory of Computer Science, ...

A new electronic skin sensor uses magnetic cilia to detect both pressure and magnetic fields for applications in health and touchless interfaces.

In 2018, the team behind the new study developed electronic skin inspired by human skin. The material, or E-dermis, sensed textures and transmitted them to surviving nerves in an amputee’s arm with ...

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 ...

This roundup of diverse skin-patch research showcases different objectives and implementations in biomedical sensing technology.

(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 ...

Zhenan Bao and her research group developed an electronic skin that is now actively used in precision health, robotics and consumer products.

A patch of artificial skin can convert signals from pressure or heat sensors into brain signals – touching this electronic skin after it was connected to a rat’s brain spurred the rat to kick ...
