With their muscles severed, people with limb amputation cannot sense the forces applied to their artificial limbs.

A malleable, self-healing, and fully recyclable electronic skin developed by researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, however, may change that.

The work can pave way for improved prosthetic limbs that can give amputees the ability to sense temperature and pressure on their artificial limbs.
