Researchers are developing skin-like electronics that could work with artificial intelligence (AI) to potentially detect problems such as heart disease, cancer or multiple sclerosis before obvious ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The fabrication of electronic devices on plastic substrates has attracted considerable recent attention owing to the proliferation of handheld, portable consumer electronics.

Back in March, we wrote that Princeton University scientists figured out how to make plastics conduct electricity. Now, a new video describes how these plastics could be used: for electronics.

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Technische Universität München (TUM) have developed a new generation of image sensors that are more sensitive to light than the conventional silicon versions, with the ...

An international team of researchers have developed a low-cost sensor made from semiconducting plastic that can be used to diagnose or monitor a wide range of health conditions, such as surgical ...

Designed for level detection applications in the plastics industry, the BCC series sensors feature reliable EMC and ESD immunity, allowing them to detect plastic pellets in a hopper while withstanding ...

To beat cancer, early detection is crucial. Now, a team of Japanese and American scientists has revealed extremely thin sensors that could one day be built into skin-tight, tumor-detecting gloves for ...

Engineers with the Bao Research Group at Stanford University are developing plastic skin with built-in sensors that can measure pressure digitally. The technology works in a way that's similar to how ...
