Super elastic sensor developed
June 14th, 2021
The laboratory of photonic materials and fibre devices (FIMAP) department of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne [EPFL]) research institute recently proposed a new, patented way of preparing flexible sensors. Led by EPFL associate professor Fabien Sorin, the project team developed a method that can embed different types of microstructures in “super-elastic” fibers, forming fibers […]
Flexible sensor maps blood oxygen
November 26th, 2018
A team of engineers at the University of California (UC) Berkeley has developed a new flexible sensor that can map blood oxygen levels, potentially monitoring oxygenation of skin grafts and oxygen levels in transplanted organs. With this new sensor, doctors may be able to gather real-time information about a patient’s healing. This healing cannot occur […]
