Jellyfish-Inspired Electronic Skin Glows When It Gets Hurt
An electronic skin that can mimic the full range of biological skin’s sensitivity has great potential to transform prosthetics and robotics. Current technologies are very sensitive, but only within a narrow range of weak pressures. Under high pressures that could cause damage, the electronic skins’ sensitivity fades. To address this shortcoming, Bin Hu and colleagues at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology turned to the Atolla jellyfish for inspiration. This bioluminescent, deep-sea creature can feel changes in environmental pressure and flashes dramatically when it senses danger.An electronic skin glows when a transparent “W” is pressed onto it, and a voltage is applied (bottom).

No it does not simply for this reason, for example I once got ripped off for buying silicone contact lenses, I thought they come with a prescription contract or were in fact durable plastic and due to bad eyesight and pressure sales signed for a single pair whilst on a university break. What use is any form of sensor skin which cannot survive a couple of weeks of use. Reality is the best skin is your own, it repairs and has all the necessary nerves and senses and comes for free, today in Germany a boy has been reported to have 80% of his skin successfully regrafted with cloned tissue with artificial DNA repaired Epidermolysis bullosa, if you can do that 3D printing nerves and blood vessels to feed fatty tissue and a layer of covering skin over an artificial limb is a doddle. It will be far less costly than buying a new skin every month to a year. An athlete would get through one new skin every week.
