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 ...

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

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 ...

The miniature-format strain sensors DST20 complement the Baumer portfolio by adding a compact and cost- efficient system for measuring large forces above 10,000 N even in confined spaces. With their ...

A research team has developed a new range of strain sensors that are 10 times more sensitive when measuring minute movements. These sensors are ultra-thin, battery-free and can transmit data ...

Resistive strain sensors hold significant potential in wearable sensing devices due to their lightweight nature, simple structure, and rapid response. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, particularly ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers presented a comprehensive study on the development and performance evaluation of silver-coated laser-induced graphene (LIG) strain ...

The ability of optical fibers to act as strain sensors, using fiber Bragg gratings and microstructured fibers, has been covered previously on optics.org. But Enbang Li of Tianjin University in China ...
