A new tactile glove could help regain motor function after stroke and enhance virtual gaming experiences. When you pick up a balloon, the pressure to keep hold of it is different from what you would ...

Touch is the sense that brings us into direct contact with reality, revealing shape, texture, and resistance. Designing soft sensors to mimic biological fingertips facilitates natural haptic ...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is becoming ubiquitous where both humans and robots perform tasks, while reliable robotic sensors are the prerequisite for efficient and safe HRI, especially in ...

(Nanowerk News) Flexible tactile sensor has great potential in the fields of electronic skin, intelligent robot, wearable and implantable physiological monitoring and treatment. In most previous ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) 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 ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2025.240152, discusses how multi-photon bionic skin realizes high-precision haptic visualization for reconstructive perception. Human ...

A newly developed thin, flexible magnetic sensor could heighten human perception, and it's pliable enough to be crumpled and scrunched while retaining functionality. Michelle Starr is CNET's science ...
