What if, instead of using X-rays or ultrasound, we could use touch to image the insides of human bodies and electronic devices? In a study publishing in the journal Cell Reports Physical Science on ...

Human fingers don't just sense what a surface feels like. They also tell us a lot about what's underneath it: a really firm handshake, for example, can reveal where some bones are, and, with enough ...

Researchers from Wuyi University in China have developed a smart bionic finger capable of subsurface tactile tomography. While previous artificial sensors could only recognize external features, the ...

The human fingertip is an exquisitely sensitive instrument for perceiving objects in our environment via the sense of touch. A team of Chinese scientists has mimicked the underlying perceptual ...

Researchers in China have developed bionic fingers to image the insides of a human body. The electronic device just has to touch the skin to scan, according to a news release published on February 15.

Forward-looking: Human fingers have one of the most sensitive tactile perceptions we know of. Inspired by this biological wonder, Chinese scientists are now envisioning a future were robotic "fingers" ...
