Yet, one fundamental question remains: Can we build electronic materials and sensing systems that truly feel like human skin? On this frontier, CGTN's Tian Wei spoke with Professor Zhenan Bao, the winner of the ICBS Wu Chien-Shiung Medal in Engineering. Bao expects the technology to enable robotics, especially humanoid robots, in the coming years, making them operate more safely around humans and to make better decisions. Meanwhile, gene editing has leaped from textbooks to hospitals in just a few years, but a pertinent question emerges: Can we fix what’s broken in our DNA by borrowing tricks already in nature? On this, Tian Wei talked to Professor Feng Zhang, the winner of the ICBS Charles K. Kao Medal in Engineering. Do listen in.
