A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by ...

Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, researchers have developed a miniature tactile sensor that could give robots ...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking method to cover robotic surfaces with genuine, living skin tissue. The idea of robots with skin isn't just about creating a ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate high stiffness or natural skin's self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers has developed a hydrogel with a unique ...

Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

- Professors Hao F. Zhang and Xiaomin Bao’s groups used super-resolution imaging on human skin cells for the first time. - The researchers explored the gateways between the cells’ cytoplasm and ...

The secret to youthful appearance and repairing scars may lie in a microscopic skin structure humans share with pigs and grizzly bears—but, surprisingly, not monkeys. While it had been thought these ...
