(Nanowerk Spotlight) Flexible sensors hold great promise for various innovative applications in fields such as medicine, healthcare, environment, and biology. Considering that most wearable systems, ...

A team of researchers have developed the world's thinnest and lightest magnetic sensor matrix sheet system that visualizes the two-dimensional distribution of magnetism on various surfaces, with a ...

The skin-like sensors play a vital role in bridging the gap between human beings, machines and real/virtual environments, carrying tremendous potential for internet-of-things (IoTs), artificial ...

A major challenge in self-powered wearable sensors for health care monitoring is distinguishing different signals when they occur at the same time. Researchers addressed this issue by uncovering a new ...

Researchers have developed a flexible fiber sensor with a double-helical structure that places both electrodes on one end. This design improves durability, allowing the sensor to endure repeated ...

Sensors make the Internet of Things (IoT) “go.” Typically, they’re chips or modules, but what if they could be printed? This creates all sorts of possibilities. I talked with Brewer Science’s Will ...

Wearable, flexible strain sensors unobtrusively monitor tiny vibrations of human skin in real time and with great accuracy, thanks to innovative fabrication techniques using composite materials. High ...
