Wang and colleagues created the sensing region by embedding an optical fibre in flexible polymer and connecting it into the FRR ring. Three small polymer protrusions on top of the sensor act as probes ...

When [Michelle] was making a sign language translation glove, she needed a bunch of flex sensors. These flex sensors cost about $10 a pop, meaning her budget for the project was eaten up by these ...

Nearly 80% of urgent calls for help go unanswered when older adults are alone, underscoring the urgent need for ...

the researchers describe the new sensor, which consists of an optical fiber ring resonator embedded in soft PDMS material that acts like a flexible optical skin. When pressure is applied ...
