Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an innovative ...

A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it's able to "read" the wearer's silently mouthed words. Developed at China's Tsinghua University, the flexible, stretchable sensor takes the form of a ...

Wearable, flexible strain sensors unobtrusively monitor tiny vibrations of human skin in real time and with great accuracy, thanks to innovative fabrication techniques using composite materials. High ...

According to the researchers, there's usually a trade-off with such devices, in that their fragility increases along with their sensitivity. This highly-sensitive strain sensor, however, can ...

Prof. Ramaswamy Nagarajan from the department of plastics engineering at UMass Lowell has developed a new type of strain sensor suitable for wirelessly monitoring the mechanical deformation in tension ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...

The FS62 – Athermal Strain Sensor is a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensor with an innovative proprietary design that ensures athermal operation of the strain gauge by cancelling the intrinsic ...

Apple is researching strain gage sensors, likely in an effort to improve the Apple Watch's strength training capabilities, according to a recent job listing (via MyHealthyApple). The job listing from ...

The modern automobile is getting pretty clever when it comes to stopping. Far from Fred Flintstone digging his heels into the ground beneath his rock car, today's braking systems benefit from ...

Taking the strain: this highly elastic film contains large quantities of conductive graphene nanosheets (Courtesy: MA O’Mara et al./Advanced Functional Materials) A strain sensor capable of ...
