(Nanowerk News) Flexible strain sensors have been widely used in wearable electronic devices to capture body physical parameters. However, regardless of the stretchability of sensing material, the ...

Strain can be defined as the deformation of a material resulting from applied force, and it is measured by change in length. It can be either compressive or tensile. A strain gauge is a device that ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, DOI 10.29026/oea.2022.210101 discusses a highly sensitive and fast response optical strain sensor. The authors of this article propose a highly ...

A new atomically-thick strain sensor is 100 times more sensitive than commercial devices and 10 times more sensitive than alternative versions based on graphene. According to its developers at China’s ...

The flexible mechanical sensor. (Courtesy: Feng Miao and Shi-Jun Liang) A new sensor can detect mechanical strains that are more than an order of magnitude weaker than was possible with previously ...

University of Sheffield researchers 3D print magnetic materials - namely stainless steel 17/4 ph - for sensors/actuator ...

When designing an experiment or test, simplicity is important. Each process added to a test or experiment to obtain data increases the potential for error. For ...
