Using metamaterials, light-driven additive manufacturing, and other techniques, researchers have created innovative pressure ...

This work proposes a novel lower-limb motion capture system that, for the first time, combines a flexible pressure sensor ...

Researchers have synthesized a new material that solves one of the most difficult problems in the quest to create wearable, unobtrusive sensitive sensors: the problem of pressure. A team of ...

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are relatively new additions to your car’s suite of sensors. At least if you’re old enough to remember when keeping an eye on tire pressures was boasted about ...

Researchers in Japan have developed the first artificial-skin patch that does not affect the touch sensitivity of the real skin beneath it. The new ultrathin sensor, which is made from multilayers of ...

Researchers at Duke University have turned bacteria into the builders of useful devices by programming them with a synthetic gene circuit. As a bacterial colony grows into the shape of a hemisphere, ...

Today, reducing carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions is one of the hottest automotive topics. The European Commission recently announced its roadmap for safer and greener cars by 2012. The strong shift in ...
