"Revolutionary E-Skin Communicates with the Brain and Mimics Human Touch"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers at Stanford University have developed an artificial electronic skin (e-skin) that can convert sensory inputs into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. The e-skin incorporates soft integrated circuits and can detect stimuli similar to natural skin, including pressure, temperature, strain, and chemicals. The e-skin operates at a low voltage and can endure continuous stretching without losing its electrical properties. This advance could facilitate the creation of prosthetic limbs with sensory feedback or advanced medical devices.
