Capacitive touch sensors are based on the electrical capacitance of the human body. When, for example, a finger comes close to the sensor, it creates a capacitance to Earth with a value of 30 to 100 ...

In touch: John Madden (left) and Mirza Saquib Sarwar with their sensor. (Courtesy: UBC) A flexible touch sensor that can distinguish between being touched and being stretched has been developed by ...

Adding pressure to a human-machine-interface (HMI) touch control can make it far more intuitive to use and allow it to recognize much more than simply “on” and “off.” With this new 3D information, a ...

The technology industry changes on a daily basis, and new products with unique functionality are what drive the industry. A creative mind will develop a concept for a new product, and the concept must ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

With the introduction of the first smartphones in 2012 with in-cell touch displays, a battle is emerging between the traditional supply chain of ITO-based touch sensors that are externally combined ...
