New research shows that humans distinguish the difference between fine textures, such as silk or satin, through vibrations, which are picked up by two separate sets of nerve receptors in the skin and ...
Despite much research on pain receptors, investigators have only recently focused on itch and how the body distinguishes between itch and pain. This research show that the receptors responding to ...
Soft electronic skin has achieved a touching breakthrough by directly communicating with the brain. Engineers have been striving to create artificial electronic skin that replicates the incredible ...
Two independent sets of nerve receptors in the skin pick up vibrations and relay them to the brain which help humans distinguish the difference between fine textures such as silk or satin, says a new ...
If the object touching the skin moves from our finger, across our palm, up our forearm to our shoulder, we can track its position, variations in pressure and the speed of its movement. This ...
BEIJING, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has expanded electronic skin (e-skin) functionality. Sensing now includes temperature, strain, humidity, light, magnetic fields, ...
Figure 1: Skin receptors and transduction process. Skin has a unique combination of mechanical and sensory properties that do not exist in conventional electronics. Consequently, mimicking skin ...
