New language of sensors may aid search for better pain and itch treatments The human body’s sense of touch is so important it can be found throughout the body, not just on the skin. Two tiny sensors ...

Apple is continuing to refine its work on light sensors that could work through a display, likely for use in a future version of Face ID or Touch ID on an iPhone. In a patent application published ...

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 ...

[CNLohr] has been tinkering with some fun parts of late. He’d found out that ordinary LCD screens could be used as simple touch sensors, and he had to try it for himself. He ended up building a little ...

Researchers have developed an L3 F-TOUCH sensor to enhance tactile capabilities in robots, allowing it to 'feel' objects and adjust its grip accordingly. Researchers from Queen Mary University of ...

Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...
