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 ...

As more and more refrigeration systems incorporate electronic controls into their design, it is becoming increasingly important for technicians to be able to troubleshoot these electronic devices. One ...

Highly accurate pressure sensors with long-term stability are necessary for fuel efficiency and reduction of harmful emissions. Increasingly demanding requirements of piezoresistive sensors include ...

A new translucent crystal, made from gold, zinc, and cyanide, does something very few materials do: Instead of shrinking under pressure, it expands. Most ordinary materials contract when pressure is ...

A pressure bandage (also called a pressure dressing) is a bandage that’s designed to apply pressure to a particular area of the body. Typically, a pressure bandage has no adhesive and is applied over ...

When scientists study how materials behave under extreme conditions, they typically examine what happens under compression. But what occurs when you pull matter apart in all directions simultaneously?

A pressure transducer is capable of accurately measuring pressure. It converts applied pressure into an electric signal and can be classified as an active or passive pressure measurement device.

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. Untreated, those with sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep. This can ...

NanoGenizer, a lab-scale microfluidic high pressure homogenizer, offers effective performance on particle size reduction and cell disruption. It utilizes interaction high-pressure microfluidic jet ...

Some evidence suggests that certain acupressure points on the ears may help relieve pain and tension around the body. Activating pressure points in the ear may help ease symptoms of several conditions ...
