Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...

A flexible electronic skin stacks carbon nanotube layers to sense touch position and pressure simultaneously, performing ...

A recent Sony patent was discovered that appears to show a PS6 controller design that comes with capacitive buttons instead of physical ones. This would mark a big departure from all of Sony’s past ...

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 ...

Although generally iPads tend to keep their resale value, there are a few exceptions, such as when you find yourself burdened ...

A new study suggests humans can sense hidden objects without touching them, by detecting faint movements in sand. This unexpected form of “remote touch” challenges traditional ideas about how the ...

Abstract: Conventional capacitive pressure sensors (CPSs) are constrained by inherent structural limitations that impede the simultaneous achievement of high sensitivity and low nonlinearity, ...
