New electronic “skin” could enable lightweight night-vision glasses

MIT engineers developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin “skins” of electronic material that could be used in applications such as night-vision eyewear and autonomous driving in foggy conditions.

New electronic 'skin' could enable lightweight night-vision glasses

MIT engineers have developed a technique to grow and peel ultrathin "skins" of electronic material. The method could pave the way for new classes of electronic devices, such as ultrathin wearable sensors, flexible transistors and computing elements, and highly sensitive and compact imaging devices.

A Better Magnetoreceptive E-Skin

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 Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (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…

Scientists create ultrathin electronic skin for future night-vision glasses

MIT engineers have developed an incredibly thin and flexible material that could lead to lightweight, wearable night-vision glasses—and much more. The breakthrough comes from a new way of growing and peeling off extremely thin “skins” of electronic materials, opening the door to flexible electronics, heat-sensing patches, and tiny infrared cameras. To show how their new […] The post Scientists create ultrathin electronic skin for future night-vi…
