Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed soft, flexible sensors that help restore a surgeon’s sense of touch during minimally invasive, or ‘keyhole’ surgery. This allows for faster recovery and less pain, but surgeons lose the ability to feel how much force they are applying through long instruments, which makes it harder to safely handle delicate tissue. The team has designed multichannel soft sensors that can measure a wide range of forces, from very light contact to stronger gripping, in real time. The sensors are made from soft silicone with tiny channels filled with liquid metal. When pressure is applied,…
