3-D printed ‘invisible’ fibers can sense breath, sound, and biological cells – Tech Xplore

From capturing your breath to guiding biological cell movements, 3-D printing of tiny, transparent conducting fibers could be used to make devices which can ‘smell, hear and touch’making it particularly useful for health monitoring, Internet of Things and biosensing applications.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge used 3-D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, techniques to make electronic fibers, each 100 times thinner than a human hair, creating sensors beyond the capabili…
