Pressure sensors are important tools for accurate sensing of applied forces. However, they can mostly sense forces along only a single direction. In a new study, scientists from South Korea take ...

To diversify nanocarbon applications, new functionality is now required in addition to conventional properties. Sensing technology is attracting attention as one of these new functionalities. Thanks ...

RALEIGH – A soft, flexible sensor system created with electrically conductive yarns could help map problematic pressure points in the socket of an amputee’s prosthetic limb, researchers from North ...

Imagine that you have a great idea for a product that includes a plastic injection-molded case or a glass panel, and you would like to explore the possibility of replacing the mechanical buttons with ...

Roads endure heavy wear and tear from vehicle traffic and weather, and the only way to evaluate their integrity — besides looking at the surface — has long been to drill down and take a core sample of ...

Scientists have developed a smart fabric embedded with sensors that can monitor the hidden health of asphalt roads in real time, in a breakthrough that could make resurfacing more sustainable, ...

Researchers at the Wilhelm Klauditz Institute (WKI) of the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research have developed a sensor system based on flax fibers that can provide information about the condition ...
