A team of researchers have developed the world's thinnest and lightest magnetic sensor matrix sheet system that visualizes the two-dimensional distribution of magnetism on various surfaces, with a ...

The advent of microcontroller modules like the Arduino opened up ability to build and program interactive objects to a whole generation of makers. Today these modules make it simple to control ...

For reliability, designers must create flex circuits that are neither too thick nor bend too much. • Every flex circuit has a neutral-bend axis. • Smaller circuit thickness reduces the risk of damage ...

• A flexible printed circuit is as much a mechanical device as it is an electrical device. • The neutral bend axis may not be in the exact middle of the material stack. • The reliability of flexible ...

Flex circuits are known by many names including flex boards, flex PCBs, flexible circuit boards, flexible printed circuit boards and, more officially, flexible electronics. You may think of flex ...

Sensors make the Internet of Things (IoT) “go.” Typically, they’re chips or modules, but what if they could be printed? This creates all sorts of possibilities. I talked with Brewer Science’s Will ...
