E-skin: recyclable alternative to wearables?
A wearable electronic device that’s 'really wearable” - a stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board - can heal itself, much like real skin.
e-skin
A flexible and highly reliable sensor
A novel e-skin, called TRACE, performs five times better than conventional soft materials. It is suitable for measuring blood flow for pulse diagnosis and helping robots to 'feel' the texture of surfaces.
