Researchers invent a flexible and highly reliable sensor – AlKhaleej Today

Real-time monitoring and detection of robots requires soft electronics. The challenge in using such materials, however, lies in their reliability. Unlike rigid devices, performance is less repeatable because of their elasticity and flexibility. The variation in reliability is known as hysteresis. Using the theory of contact mechanics, a research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) developed a new sensor material with significantly lower hysteresis. This ability enables more accurate…
