Newly created “e-skin” allows you to manipulate virtual objects without seeing or touching them

German and Austrian researchers have developed the smallest form of electronic skin to date. The e-skin device is about three micrometers thick, making it thinner than an average piece of human hair. The technology adds to the ever-growing industry of electronic devices set to merge robotics with humans. This new e-skin device can be placed […]
