Graphene, a super thin material with excellent flexibility and conductivity, is an ideal material for an electronic skin.

It could be attached to human skin as well as masks and throats to measure body signals such as breathing, heartbeat and voice.

The study, published in the journal ACS Nano, has found that the electronic skin exhibits high sensitivity and long-term stability, withstanding high temperatures and is comfortable to wear.

With laser scribing technology, the pattern of the graphene-based electronic skin can be personalized, a feature that will help future commercialization.

The electronic skin has huge potential in healthcare and intelligent systems, according to the scientists.
