SUMMARY
AA
Artificial skin will be very useful in the future. It could let people have feeling in their prosthetics. They could feel pressure, heat, and moisture if they were willing to spend a lot of money on the product. So in 3 to 6 years, individuals will be able to have a sense of touch in their prosthetic. I think this artificial skin would be great. We take our sense of touch for granted, so we might feel that this isn't important. But to them, I'm sure it means a lot.

WHEN ITS AVAILABLE/DEVELOPED
- October 15, 2015 artificial skin for prosthetics was developed.
- so far it has only been tested on mice
- available in 3-6 years
BENEFITS
- Artificial skin could give people with prosthetics a sense of touch.
- it can transmit different amounts of pressure, just like real skin
HOW IT WORKS
Description
- can feel pressure
- send those signals to brain
- made of a synthetic rubber designed to have micron-scale pyramid like structures that make it especially sensitive to pressure
- scientists sprinkled the rubber with carbon nanotubes that conduct electricity and detect pressure, so when touched, a series of pulses is generated from the sensor.
- skin grown in a laboratory
- used as skin replacement for people who have suffered from severe burns or skin disease
- It can also go over people's prosthetics and give them feeling.
