New smart sensor takes the pain out of wound monitoring
Researchers from Penn State and China’s Hebei University of Technology uncovered a new property of a sensor material, enabling the team to develop a new type of flexible sensor that can accurately measure both temperature and physical strain simultaneously but separately to more precisely pinpoint various signals.
