Bio-Friendly Materials are Making Electronic Skin More Trackable
In a breakthrough development, researchers have created a new form of electronic skin that is made of bio-friendly materials and can track motion and touch. This new electronic skin, known as “e-skin,” is composed of a thin film of organic semiconductors, a polymer, and an electrolyte. It can be applied directly onto the skin and is flexible enough to conform to the shape of the user. It can detect motion and pressure, and can be used to measure temperature, pH levels, and even heart rate. This could revolutionize the way we interact with our environment, as well as how we monitor our health and wellbeing.
