Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...

Their bionic finger can detect structures such as the blood vessels, tissues and bones that exist beneath our skin. "We were inspired by human fingers, which have the most sensitive tactile perception ...

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 ...

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 ...

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" ...
