Skin-Inspired Haptic Memory Devices, Nanyang Technological University Study

Our sense of touch connects us to the world around us and is an integral part of how we experience things, both physically and emotionally. Human skin is a sensitive detector of both pressure and temperature, and efforts to develop similar sensors for electronics are widespread. The exquisite sensation functions of natural skin have inspired the rapid advancements of skin-like sensing devices, especially tactile sensors, for electronic skin applications (read more: "Electronic skin - a primer").
