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 ...

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 ...

Capacitive sensing provides a robust alternative to traditional mechanical switches. However, some applications cannot accommodate the physical implementation of a printed circuit board directly under ...

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 ...

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 ...
