Sensors Pit vipers' ability to sense temperature is so acute that they can detect warm-blooded prey from a distance. With this as inspiration, Di Giacomo et al. developed cross-linked pectin films that could detect temperature differences down to 10 mK across a temperature range of 45 K. The pectin films were successfully integrated into an artificial skin that protected the films while still allowing for temperature determination. Sci. Robot. 10.1126/scirobotics.aai9251 (2017).
