Researchers Create An Artificial Skin That Can Sense Changes In Temperature
Engineers and scientist from Caltech and ETH Zurich were able to construct a new material that can feel temperature differences , which could possibly be used in prosthetic limbs to play as a sore artificial skin . The material , as report inScience Robotics , uses a chemical mechanism that is akin to the pitfall organ in vipers . The research worker were studying semisynthetic woods when they discovered that a molecule , pectin , play a part in generating an electric impulse when exposed to changes in temperature ....
