A prosthetic wrapped in electronic skin that can feel both pain and touch could help amputees avoid injury.
The skin, known as e-dermis, is a thin layer of rubber and fabric that fits over the fingertips of a prosthetic hand and generates pulses of electricity.
These small shocks fire into nerves in the stump to simulate a real feeling of touch when the electronic skin makes contact with objects.
