A lighter, smarter magnetoreceptive electronic skin: Novel e-skins unlock a new level of interaction between humans and machines - Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, HZDR

Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone under water: This and more could soon be a reality thanks to innovative e-skins. A research team led by the HZDR has developed an electronic skin that detects and precisely tracks magnetic fields with a single global sensor. This artificial skin is not only light, transparent and permeable, but also mimics the interactions of real skin and the brain, as the team
