Super Skin was some thing a professor in stanfod university wanted to create. She already developed a very sensitive artificial skin that can easily feel a fly landing on the skin. Now she is working on skin that canstretch 30% more than regular skin and even skin that can produce electricity by solar cells implemented in the skin. The materials for the artificial skin is a flexible organic transistor, made with flexible polymers and carbon-based materials. To allow sensing , the transited made a thin layer of rubber that is molded into tiny pyramids. When something presses on the layer it leaves an imprint.
I think this is very interesting. New development in human parts can be a great help in the human body. If this super skin were possible on human beings, who knows what humans will be able to do. To be able to create electricity just by your a skin with solar cells is just amazing.
