If those ideas translate, designers could build whisker-like probes that “tell” you where contact happened through their materials alone. Research findings are available online in the journal Science.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The new sensor-packed Smart Play Brick will land this spring as part of a special Star Wars collection. The update adds interactive lights and sound to the Lego experience—including the minifigs.

Why thinner OLED stackups are more susceptible to EMI and noise, and the impacts for touch sensing. How multi-frequency-region parallel sensing (MFRPS) improves touch accuracy, scalability, and ...

A leaker on the social media site Weibo reveals that Apple may have some interesting plans in store for future iPhone cases. According to the post, Apple is exploring iPhone cases that, in addition to ...

The Venus flytrap possesses sensory hairs that detect prey via touch stimuli. Bending of the sensory hair trigger Ca 2+ and electrical signals that propagate to the leaf blade. Saitama, Japan: Plants ...

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 ...
