Researchers at RMIT University in Australia have developed electronic artificial skin that reacts to pain just like human skin. The wearable sticker-like device can clear the way for better prosthetics, smarter robotics and noninvasive alternatives to skin grafts, according to a news release. The device mimics the body’s near-instant feedback response and can react to […]

According to a new IDTechEx report, an important new trend is buying electrics and electronics you customize to function not just shape. The report titled “Complete Electronics as Smart Material, User-Customized 2020-2040,” shows that builders, textile manufacturers, those doing home improvement and others are starting to buy electrically-smart materials direct from materials companies, bypassing the […]

Stretchable electronics is a technology field with revolutionary potential. They provide consumers with highly personalized experiences. This technology can be used to monitor vital signs for an extended period of time. However, there’s one big hurdle to its usability, and that is the lack of breathability. Now, researchers at North Carolina State University have created […]

Stretchable electronics is a technology for building electronic circuits by depositing stretchable electronic devices and circuits onto stretchable substrates or embed them entirely in a stretchable material like silicones or polyurethanes. Stretchable electronics comes in many shapes and forms. Because of their elasticity and conformity, they are widely used in wearable medical devices. A new […]
