Then they knitted the yarn to create a temperature sensor. Today’s conductive yarn is usually made of threads coated with copper and silver nanoparticles. Conductive fibers spun from carbon ...

RALEIGH – A soft, flexible sensor system created with electrically conductive yarns could help map problematic pressure points in the socket of an amputee’s prosthetic limb, researchers from ...

Scientists at Pennsylvania State University and Japan's Shinshu University recently created a "super-stretchable" conductive yarn made from graphene. The researchers started by chemically ...

"The fabrication of the sensing yarn is quite simple, resembling the creation of a braided hairstyle. Conductive yarns are braided in a helical pattern around stretchy core yarns using an ...

Royal College of Art student Yen Chen Chang has used conductive yarns and threads to create tactile interfaces for electronic products that work by stroking, stretching or squeezing knitted ...

The silver keys of this five-octave interface are made of conductive yarn, and the blue background is regular polyester yarn. Underneath that is a conductive knit layer to complete the key ...

A conductive uniform that could act as a central battery for soldiers’ devices will be field-tested later this year and is planned for widespread release by 2014 or 2015. A conductive uniform ...
