New path to flex and stretch electronics: Artificial electronic skin device capable of detecting and responding to touch

Tuesday, December 13, 2011 - 23:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have developed a promising new inexpensive technique for fabricating large-scale flexible and stretchable backplanes using semiconductor-enriched carbon nanotube solutions. To demonstrate the utility of their carbon nanotube backplanes, the researchers constructed an artificial electronic skin device capable of detecting and responding to touch.
