In the future, soft robotic hands with advanced sensors could help diagnose and care for patients or act as more lifelike prostheses. But one roadblock to encoding soft robotic hands with human-like ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as pivotal phenomena. These effects underpin a new generation of tactile sensors ...

Nature, the master engineer, is coming to our rescue again. Inspired by scorpions, scientists have created new pressure sensors that are both highly sensitive and able to work across a wide variety of ...
