As snow, ice, or salt grime gathers on cars in winter, many of the sensors that are key to the operation of advanced safety systems can become blocked and shut down—right when you may need them most.

What can't be seen can hurt you. That's the thinking behind a range of fluidic, compressed-air, ultrasonic and aerodynamic cleaning gear and hydrophobic coatings for the sensors. They are a vital part ...

Conventional wearable sweat sensors utilize hydrophobic ion-selective membranes (ISMs) and require tight contact and adhesives to achieve signal stability. However, this can lead to user discomfort ...

Self-cleaning hydrogen sensors may soon join the ranks of self-cleaning ovens, self-cleaning windows and self-cleaning public toilets, according to Penn State researchers. "The photocatalytic ...

A breakthrough in wearable health tech offers sensors that resist irritation, ensure reliable readings, and improve long-term comfort. (Nanowerk News) Wearable sensors can help prevent critical health ...

The sweat sensors developed in the study are based on the water-load-dependent hydrophobic behavior of rose petals, enabling enhanced signal stability, performance and improved user comfort, making ...
