The engineers previously developed an electronic skin made of graphene that covered prosthetic hands. They’re now using the unique properties of graphene to power new artificial skin.
Graphene is a single-atom thick material that is stronger than steel. It is electrically conductive and has an optical transparency that allows 98% of light to pass through. Its transparency is what allows it to gather energy from the sun.
