NUS researchers build a stretchy sensor skin that glows where it is pressed

A National University of Singapore team has made the eLuminator, a 70-micrometre flexible film that emits light at the point of contact and glows brighter under more pressure, while also measuring force electronically. Described in Nature Communications, it could give robot hands and prosthetics finer touch, though it still needs an external 150 V supply.
