A Liverpool Hope University student has found a revolutionary way to improve medical care using a simple silicone make-up sponge - bought from a high street chemist.
Alexander Co Abad discovered the £1 beauty product could form the main component of a sensor designed to be as sensitive as human skin when it comes to providing âtouchâ feedback.
He also says thereâs the potential for it to be used in a range of medical procedures - from helping robotic arms to grip instruments during surgery, to even detecting tumours.
