Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed an advanced stretchable electronic skin (e-skin) that could potentially give robots and other devices human-like touch sensitivity. This innovation overcomes the limitations of existing e-skin technologies which lose sensing accuracy when stretched. "Much like human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and 90% of those cancers are melanoma, the deadliest type. But the good news is it is treatable if detected early. In fact, the five-year survival rate is 99%. On a mission to spread that message, longtime leaders in sun protection,...
