With the introduction of the first smartphones in 2012 with in-cell touch displays, a battle is emerging between the traditional supply chain of ITO-based touch sensors that are externally combined ...

Created by ATLab of South Korea, the company is distributing the FMA1127 touch sensor controller that converts capacitance generated by the human body and conductive touch pad to digital data with no ...

I am trying to test a capacitive touch sensor. Specifically, I want to show that it registers a specific change in capacitance. Capacitance is defined as: C = A * Eo * Er / d Keeping A, Eo and d ...

Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

Fish-scale-like gaps help soft robotic grippers sense bending, texture, and firmness through small contact changes.

Capacitive touch-sensing user interfaces are replacing mechanical buttons in products across consumer, medical and industrial segments. However, with the advent of touch-sensing user interfaces, ...

Researchers in Japan have developed the first artificial-skin patch that does not affect the touch sensitivity of the real skin beneath it. The new ultrathin sensor, which is made from multilayers of ...

Many IoT devices have started to include touch screen interfaces as part of their UI to make the devices more intuitive and easier to use. A great interface can make customers really love and want to ...
