Robotic and prosthetic devices may one day be equipped with a sense of touch equivalent to or better than human skin. A research team at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed the Asynchronous Coded Electronic Skin (ACES) system, which can sense touch at 1,000 times the speed of the human nervous system.

Researchers at Stanford University in the US have developed new sensors that can be adhered to the skin for wireless monitoring of health. The sensors are designed to identify the physiological signals that the skin emanates, such as pulse. These readings will be wirelessly transmitted to a receiver clipped onto clothing. The sensor and receiver system has been named BodyNet.

An experimental device made from layered filter paper is helping Rice University bioengineers study calcifying heart diseases. The filter paper is structured in a way that mimics the layering of aortic heart valves, recreating the means by which cells spread through cardiac tissue in a laboratory setting. It may not look much like a heart valve, but in practice it simulates the proliferation process in the same way.
