how does a phone stylus work?

How does a phone stylus still register on a screen when something like an eraser, which feels somewhat similar, doesn’t?

What allows some materials to register on a screen, and others not to register?

Most touch screens these days relying on the finger modifying the amount of electrical current that moves across the surface of the screen. The stylus does the same thing.

Some materials simply don’t disrupt the current enough to register as a “touch”.
