Breakthrough In Skin-Like Optical Sensing Foils
Leuven, Belgium: Building on last year’s rigid-surface development, INTEC reports that it’s produced the first functional optical links embedded in a flexible substrate. INTEC is IMEC’s associated laboratory at Ghent University. With this technique, it becomes possible to make foils that sense changes in pressure. These skin-like foils could be used in applications that have irregular or moving surfaces, such as robots, pliable machinery, or perhaps artificial skin.
