Korean Scientists Develop Ultra-Sensitive E-Skin

A recent article from The Korea Bizwire, discussed the latest development in the ongoing quest to create human-like robots. A team of researchers from the Pohang University of Science and Technology and the University of Ulsan have created an e-skin that mimics the tactile sense of human fingers. It consists of an elastic high polymer thin film and features tiny wrinkles, much like a human fingerprint. The interior contains a network of nanowires made of silver and zinc oxide that make the substance multisensory and elastic.
