Chinese researchers develop ultra-sensitive robotic "finger" for breast cancer detection and routine medical exams.

Researchers in China have created an ultra-sensitive robotic "finger" that can assist in early breast cancer detection and routine medical exams by taking pulses and checking for lumps. This innovative device mimics human touch through advanced sensors, allowing it to measure pressure and movement accurately. The technology, detailed in *Cell Reports Physical Science*, aims to enhance healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved areas, by potentially automating examinations.
