Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science & Technology have created a new synthetic skin that could be a future of fleshy robots that can touch and feel, as well as opening the door to some pretty high tech bandages..

By combining engineered polymeric materials known as hydrogels with complex intestinal tissue known as organoids – made from human pluripotent stem cells – researchers have taken an important step toward creating a new technology for controlling the growth of these organoids and using them for treating wounds in the gut that can be caused by disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
