In a study published in Science Advances, scientists demonstrate an unprecedented advancement in E-Skin technology that recovers over 80% of its functionality within 10 seconds of being damaged—a dramatic improvement over existing technologies that can take minutes or hours to heal.

The technology seamlessly combines ultra-rapid self-healing capabilities, reliable performance in extreme conditions, advanced artificial intelligence integration, and highly accurate health monitoring systems. This integration enables real-time fatigue detection and muscle strength assessment with remarkable precision.

“This self-healing technology represents a fundamental shift in wearable electronics,” says Professor Yangzhi Zhu. “By achieving healing times of just seconds rather than minutes or hours, we’ve overcome one of the major barriers to practical, everyday use of electronic skin devices.”
