The advance presages a new era of robots and prosthetics wrapped in self-healing synthetic materials imbued with human-like sense of touch.

A single, multilayer, soft, and stretchable material with integrated nerve-like electronics can sense pressure, temperature, strain, and more, just like real skin.

Researchers developed a novel, electronically active smart skin can rapidly decipher typing and sign language.

Scientists have developed a “smart” bandage that can heal a serious wound 25% faster than the average bandage.

Researchers have developed a polymer-based electrolyte that makes for batteries that keep working – and don’t catch fire – when heated to over 140 degrees F.

Scientists at Stanford invented “NeuroString”—a soft implantable probe that can monitor fluctuations in brain chemicals, like a fitness tracker for the brain.
