Start with simple checks like moisture and cases before moving into system resets ...

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 ...

If you’ve ever wished for some sort of biometric authentication system on the Apple Watch, you’re not alone. Apple engineers, too, are imagining ways to put the Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the ...

The touch-sensing human-machine interface (HMI) in wearable devices is a key element of their consumer appeal, providing a responsive, intuitive way to interact via touch buttons and sliders in ...

Researchers have developed the world's first soft touchpad that can sense the force, area and location of contact without electricity. The device utilizes pneumatic channels, enabling its use in ...

Their proof-of-concept sensor system can currently recognise patterns with 87% to 92% accuracy, faster and more energy-efficiently than traditional computational methods, he said. Read the first ever ...

The pneumatic touchpad is made of soft silicone. It contains 32 channels, each only a few hundred micrometres wide, that adapt to touch. Pneumatic sensors can collect much data by touch. Researchers ...
