The gel-based material contains a uniform conductive layer that changes its electrical pathways in response to different stimuli such as pokes, burns, or cuts. This enables the material to simplify ...

Scientists unveil a low-cost, gelatin-based robotic skin that senses touch, heat, and cuts. The skin could give robots and prosthetics a lifelike sense of feel using fewer components.

SUTD researchers 3D print biodegradable conductive electronics using direct ink writing and cellulose acetate dissolved in acetone.

In a giant leap towards humanizing machines, scientists have developed an innovative electric skin that allows robots to ...

Herein, an innovative self- and pressure-adhesive biomedical implant was developed. Tissue adhesion was achieved with a thermosensitive hydrogel based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide), ...

A team of scientists might have been able to give robots the chance to ‘feel’ sensations and external stimuli. This is ...

The use of fish waste as a source material for the development of functional beads has significant potential applications in the fields of materials science and environmental sustainability. In this ...

A mysterious blob sits on a lab table in Tulane University’s Stern Hall. It’s slimy, squishy and a little bigger than a ...

S cientists have developed a new type of electronic "skin" that could give robots the ability to "feel" different tactile ...
