It's moldable, biocompatible and glitters like gold. Plastic that can conduct an electric charge is a material that can be ...

To diversify nanocarbon applications, new functionality is now required in addition to conventional properties. Sensing technology is attracting attention as one of these new functionalities. Thanks ...

To advance soft robotics, skin-integrated electronics and biomedical devices, researchers at Penn State have developed a 3D-printed material that is soft and stretchable — traits needed for matching ...

Starting from the concept, we explain the surface area of Cabot conductive carbon black. The Cabot (BET) surface area refers ...

On-line conductivity measurement of mineral contamination in water allows reliable and inexpensive monitoring of water quality through the various stages of treatment. In comparison to having to ...

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 ...

The University of Edinburgh has a novel flexible conductive film that it has exploited in a wireless sensor that can tell how tight a bandage is. While many elastic or stretchable conductors are based ...

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 ...
