Singapore, Sept. 29 -- Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a next-generation electronic skin that can both sense and directly visualise pressure in real time, addressing key limitations of current wearable sensing technologies.

Electronic skin systems are increasingly used in healthcare, robotics and wearables, but most rely on arrays of sensors connected to external electronics for signal processing and display. These designs often face limitations such as low spatial resolution, wiring complexity and inefficient signal interpretation, making intuitive real-time feedback difficult.

To address these challenges, a team led by Professor Lim Chwee Teck from the NUS Department of Biomedical Engineering...
