Here is the new artificial skin from MIT

MIT in Boston, Massachusetts has successfully created the first artificial skin. This new development could lead to huge advances in prosthetic technology and treatments for burns and other skin injuries. How is artificial leather made? Artificial skin is made from sheets of collagen that have been coated with a special type of sugar molecule. When this artificial skin is implanted under human skin, it bonds with the natural tissue of… Read more

SkinTrack, and the skin becomes touch

SkinTrack is an innovative system that will allow us to make our own skin "touchable", to control the smartwatch using the user's arm. All thanks to a ring that emits a signal and communicates with a detection band attached to the watch. When the finger wearing the ring touches the skin, a high-frequency electrical signal will spread across the arm, a signal then picked up by four pairs of electrodes positioned in the band. We don't yet know when this technology will be commercialized, but the timing could... Read more

The robots of the future will not have skin inspired by human skin, but decidedly better, more similar to that of an octopus. This special type of skin lights up and changes color if it is touched, it is elastic and can stretch up to 500%, it senses touch and pressure. Not bad for a robot. This is the first hi-tech skin inspired by the octopus, which could make the robots of the future camouflage. The skin of the future was described in the journal Science. This is the invention from… Read more
