E-Skin: Nanotechnology's Artificial Skin Breakthrough

Artificial skin, dubbed "e-skin" by UC Berkeley researchers, is the first such material made out of inorganic single crystalline semiconductors. It's a pressure-sensitive electronic material made from semiconductor nanowires and this sort of touch-sensitive artificial skin would help overcome a key challenge in robotics: adapting the amount of force needed to hold and manipulate a wide range of objects. read more
