Scientists have created a new type of electronic skin that mimics human fingerprints, but with even greater security.
The artificial fingerprint is made of flexible material called SEBS, which is soft and stretchable, ideal for use on robotic hands.
The process to create these fingerprints involves treating the SEBS material with a solvent called toluene, causing the surface to wrinkle in a random way that is nearly impossible to reproduce.
This technology could lead to more advanced and personalized robots, smarter security systems, and improved human-machine interfaces.
