University of Toronto researchers have developed a stretchy, transparent and self-powering sensor that records the sensations of human skin. It consists of a layer of hydrogel that can converts mechanical stimuli and humidity into variable resistance and capacitance, as well as self-generating power than can be measured as open-circuit voltage or short-circuit current. Hydrogels are ...
