Like many other things made in China, I doubt these patents will stand the test of time. China is known for fabricating much of its public face. I have shared experiences with various citizens of China. Conditions are far different from the western world. An example: Many areas of China have lines for most bathrooms at apartment buildings. This may seem comical, yet it is the tip of the iceberg. Until China addresses the suffering that its citizens endure and ensures some form of civil liberty for the people occupying its borders, no amount of patents will be enough.

Two Research Groups Create 'Electric Skin' 52
Flash Modin writes "Two separate teams, one from UC Berkeley and the other from Stanford, have created distinct types of artificial skin that could find uses in prosthetics or artificial intelligence (Data in First Contact, anyone?). The first team coupled organic electronics with an elastic polymer to make electric skin that could sense a butterfly landing on it (abstract). The second team put a flexible material over a conductive rubber compound which had transistors implanted in it. The device can sense touch when the rubber is compressed, changing the electrical resistance (abstract)."
