Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed electronic "skin" that's responsive to touch. It's called ACES, short for Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin, and the researchers' ...

Scientists from the University of Singapore have developed a type of artificial skin that is packed with tiny sensors and can actually "feel." The skin, which could someday be used in prosthetics, is ...

The skin is an organ that’s easily taken for granted, but it actually does a great deal of work. Human skin is sensitive, able to receive varied stimuli. At the same time, it’s robust enough to endure ...

Robots and prosthetic devices may soon have a sense of touch equivalent to, or better than, the human skin with the Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES), an artificial nervous system developed by ...

An artificial body part that behaves just like the real thing would be an invaluable tool in restoring quality of life for amputees, and bit by bit prosthetics researchers are edging towards such a ...

Up until the 20th century, wearing a prosthetic limb wasn’t all that great. They were often unwieldy wooden contraptions with both form and function that fell far short of their natural counterparts.

NPR — along with seven public radio stations around the country — is chronicling the lives of America's troops where they live. We're calling the project "Back at Base." This is the latest in the ...

Sensor-instrumented glove for prosthetic hand controls has ability to sense pressure, temperature, hydration using electronic chips sending sensory data through wristwatch WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – ...

Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES) uses a network of sensors connected through a single electrical conductor. This is in contrast to existing electronic skins, which use interlinked wire ...

The prosthetics industry is rapidly growing, allowing patients to better customize their devices, control them using their nervous system, and... NPR — along with seven public radio stations around ...
