Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a stretchable strain sensor that can detect even minor changes in strain with a greater range of motion than previous technologies. The sensor consists of a silver nanowire network embedded in an elastic polymer, and it measures strain by measuring changes in electrical resistance. The researchers have demonstrated the sensor's utility in wearable devices for monitoring motion in physical therapy and in human-machine interface devices for controlling video games. The sensor can be easily incorporated into existing wearable materials and has potential for a range of additional applications. [Extracted from the article]
