Twist, bend and stretch The new stretchable sensor can detect even minor changes in strain with greater range of motion than previous technologies. The patterned cuts enable large deformation without ...

Prof. Ramaswamy Nagarajan from the department of plastics engineering at UMass Lowell has developed a new type of strain sensor suitable for wirelessly monitoring the mechanical deformation in tension ...

A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it's able to "read" the wearer's silently mouthed words. Developed at China's Tsinghua University, the flexible, stretchable sensor takes the form of a ...

Strain sensors typically work by measuring changes in an electrical current, caused by the sensor being stretched due to some sort of movement. Most of them are optimized to be either very sensitive ...

Many applications use a manufacturing process known as thin-film sputtering deposition. The typical sputtering process uses an ion beam to impact the surface of a sputter material such as gold, silver ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...

Researchers have developed a hydrogel-based strain sensor that measures blood potassium from a single drop of serum in two minutes, enabling faster and less invasive monitoring for patients with ...

Many conventional strain gages are similar in appearance to Figure 1. A serpentine pattern etched into a metal foil creates a relatively high resistance in a small space. The foil is bonded to a thin ...

Apple is apparently planning to add a new kind of sensor to the Apple Watch that will measure strain while working out. According to a job listing that was spotted by MyHealthyApple, the company is ...
