December 10, 2014

(Business Insider) – An artificial smart skin has been created which replicates the sensory process, including feeling strain, pressure, temperature and humidity. US and Korean scientists say the cyborg skin includes stretchable sensors for nerve stimulation so that electrical signals can be transmitted from the prosthetic to nerves in the body. Details of the smart prosthetic skin made from silicon nanoribbons is reported this week in the journal Nature Communications.
