A new artificial skin unveiled at CES 2026 could give robots human-like sensitivity, helping machines better understand ...

New octopus-inspired artificial skin mimics marine camouflage, enabling materials to transform in color and texture for ...

This phone cover might give some people the heebie-jeebies. It's made from artificial skin and it's not the only one. Researchers say they have also developed faux skin prototypes for other devices.

The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many computer scientists insane: a noisy stream of activity spikes that may be ...

A material that can switch its appearance, cephalopod-style, could have future applications in robotics or display technology ...

Brazilian researchers have used three-dimensional (3D) printing to develop an artificial skin model with properties that are more similar to those of human skin. The structure, called Human Skin ...

Some day, robots will look so much like humans that distinguishing between them and us will be difficult. They will also have artificial skin that looks and functions like human skin and can sense the ...

Researchers create an iontronic artificial skin that senses pressure, temperature, and current while learning patterns through built-in memory and computation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to ...

Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone under water: This and more could soon be a reality thanks to innovative e-skins. A research team has developed an ...

Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode "The skin we're in" Anna Maria Coclite is developing artificial skin, even more sensitive than our own. For burn victims and beyond, this "smart skin" has the ...

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 ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...
