I don’t know if you already knew that rubber materials cannot conduct electricity well and that metals do not stretch. However, a team of Japanese scientists from the University of Tokyo found a way to combine them and they developed a rubber material that conducts electricity.
They called it “e-skin” and they will apply it on [...]
