A few hundred years ago, determining whether a painting was created by a master like Rembrandt or a talented copycat depended only on the trained eye of an expert. Then, new tools like X-rays and infrared imaging allowed curators to see beneath the surface of a painting and analyze details invisible to the human eye.A few hundred years ago, determining whether a painting was created by a master like Rembrandt or a talented copycat depended only on the trained eye of an expert.

Researchers have covered robotic fingers with a new artificial skin that allows the hand to grasp fragile pencil lead and pull away from a needle before it punctures the covering. Both actions depend on more than sensitive sensors. The robot must also receive and interpret their signals quickly enough to respond.Researchers have covered robotic fingers with a new artificial skin that allows the hand to grasp fragile pencil lead and pull away from a needle before it punctures the covering.
