Long nails can be a headache when it comes to managing smartwatches – chemists have made the first steps towards making the touchscreen responsive to nails. Photo: Logan Weaver / Unsplash Read the summary Long nails and touchscreens have been problematic so far, due to the material’s limitations in conductivity. A new research suggests a potential solution that combines cosmetics and chemistry in a practical way. The development of transparent, electrically conductive nail polish indicates the possibility of making everyday use of it significantly more comfortable. However, this raises questions about the safety, stability and efficiency of the materials. The researchers’ approach differs from previous ones, focusing on a new chemical mechanism. The initial results are promising, but several technical obstacles remain.
