Researchers create an iontronic artificial skin that senses pressure, temperature, and current while learning patterns ...

Scientists have developed a new type of electronic skin that mimics the uniqueness of human fingerprints—except it’s even ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. It makes up about 15% of our body weight and protects us from pathogens, ...

Researchers from Graz University of Technology and the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) in India are working on what they believe could be a compromise—offering the reliability of animal testing ...

The likelihood of two human fingerprints being identical is extremely low—about 1 in 640 billion. Even identical twins, ...

When skin becomes damaged—from things like wounds, burns, or diseases—it can be very dangerous. But researchers in ...

We see this as the first step towards using plastic materials for artificial skin on prosthetic limbs.” Bao and her colleagues demonstrated that the sensors could relay pressure signals to the ...

A research team has developed an electronic skin that detects and precisely tracks magnetic fields with a single global sensor. This artificial skin is not only light, transparent and permeable ...

Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based material that makes it possible to engineer artificial skin tissues, which can serve as living three-dimensional models of human skin for better ...
