Electronic skins would allow sensations similar to nerves in the human body to be felt, such as pressure and temperature changes.

An ultra thin, stretchable form of electronic skin was in a recent report in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces by researchers. A challenge scientists are finding is keeping the flexibility for movement while putting an ultra thin electrical circuit onto a complex 3D surface.
