Researchers have developed electronic artificial skin that reacts to pain just like real skin, opening the way to better prosthetics and non-invasive alternatives to skin grafts. The prototype device developed by a team at RMIT University can electronically replicate the way human skin senses pain. The device mimics the body's near-instant feedback response and can react to painful sensations with the same speed as real skin.
