A flexible electronic skin stacks carbon nanotube layers to sense touch position and pressure simultaneously, performing classification through its physical structure rather than external processors. ...

A research team led by Massachusetts University has integrated a touch sensor with a memristor for a device that only only processes data around pixels that contain a signal while ignoring irrelevant ...

TouchNetix is launching its AX24A touch controller, for combined touch and force sensing. Part of the aXiom portfolio, it supports button features as well as force sensing behind conductive surfaces.

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself. Researchers at Northwestern University and Israel's Tel Aviv ...

Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School have developed a next-generation tactile sensor called SuperTac. The project involved collaboration with multiple ...

LAS VEGAS — In the high-energy gaming halls of CES 2026, where the latest virtual reality headsets and haptic vests compete for attention, a quiet breakthrough from Scotland is promising to change how ...

As demand for larger, thinner, and more responsive touchscreens intensifies, so does the complexity of engineering them. Designers of smartphones, tablets, automotive displays, and industrial control ...

Multiple reports suggest that live sports viewing has declined for certain sports, especially among Gen Z. To solve this, leagues and broadcasters are trying to make sports more engaging for fans with ...

Sensors to detect temperature, pressure, and gases, such as CO 2, have been around for centuries. However, the latest devices can measure a growing list of substances and process the data in real-time ...
