Researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology in China have unveiled an innovative electronic skin with outstanding isothermal regulation. This thermoregulating electronic skin, known as thermo-e-skin, utilizes biomimetic structures to replicate the human body's thermoregulation mechanism.

The integration of a flexible thermoelectric device with a hydrogel composite material enables the maintenance of a stable surface temperature of 35 degrees Celsius across a broad ambient temperature range (10 to 45 degrees Celsius). Unlike traditional electronic skins limited to simple heating or cooling, this advancement in thermo-e-skin ensures prolonged isothermal regulation in complex and dynamic environments. The study detailing this development has been published in the Nano Energy journal.
