A flexible electronic skin stacks carbon nanotube layers to sense touch position and pressure simultaneously, performing classification through its physical structure rather than external processors. ...

Tactile sensing is rapidly emerging as a critical foundation for next-generation applications across consumer electronics, robotics, automation, healthcare, manufacturing, and immersive technologies ...

A research team led by Massachusetts University has integrated a touch sensor with a memristor for a device that only only processes data around pixels that contain a signal while ignoring irrelevant ...

TouchNetix is launching its AX24A touch controller, for combined touch and force sensing. Part of the aXiom portfolio, it supports button features as well as force sensing behind conductive surfaces.

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself. Researchers at Northwestern University and Israel's Tel Aviv ...

Chris Bruce has worked in the automotive industry since 2011 and has written thousands of stories about cars, motorsports, and motorcycles in that time. He has written for Autoblog, Autoviva, CarFax, ...

Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School have developed a next-generation tactile sensor called SuperTac. The project involved collaboration with multiple ...

Apple has historically resisted the idea of touchscreen MacBooks, arguing that laptop PCs with the feature are unwieldy and far from ergonomic. But recent reports suggest Apple has changed its tune, ...

Sensors to detect temperature, pressure, and gases, such as CO 2, have been around for centuries. However, the latest devices can measure a growing list of substances and process the data in real-time ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...
