(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 ...

Electronic skin refers to flexible, stretchable electronics that mimic the sensing capabilities of human skin. It comprises an array of sensors embedded in a substrate that can detect various stimuli, ...

Researchers have developed an electronic skin that can mimic the same process that causes a finger, toe or limb to move when poked or scalded. The technology could lead to the development of a ...

Robots are starting to flinch. New generations of electronic skin can register heat, pressure and even damaging force, then ...

Researchers have taken wearable sensors to the next level with the development of a flexible, semiconducting film that can be worn as a type of e-skin for various sensing applications. MIT engineers ...

Why skin patches are a popular biosensor. How new fabrication approaches are enabling development of less obtrusive skin-path sensors. How advanced skin patches can monitor multiple biologic ...

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 ...

With a few exceptions primarily at the quantum-physics level, sensors of real-world parameters are inherently analog. The formal designations of the parameters being sensed are fairly clear, such as ...
