Skin-like sensors bring a human touch to wearable tech
Artificial ‘skin’ sensor could be the future of wearable and stretchable electronics, with applications in wound-healing, gaming and more University of Toronto Engineering researchers have developed a super-stretchy, transparent and self-powering sensor…
Electronic gadget that can soften and deform when attached to our skin
A research team at The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) says their new platform called ‘Transformative Electronics Systems’ will open a new class of electronics, allowing reconfigurable electronic interfaces…
Artificial skin creates first ticklish devices
A new interface developed by researchers in Bristol and Paris takes touch technology to the next level, by providing an artificial skin-like membrane for augmenting interactive devices such as phones, wearables or…
Researchers develop a Battery that can be bent, stretched and twisted.
Today’s electronics industry is increasingly focusing on computers or smartphones with screens that can be folded or rolled. Smart clothing items make use of wearable micro-devices or sensors to monitor bodily functions….
