Scientists create a new range of nanomaterial strain sensors that are 10 times more sensitive when measuring minute movements, compared to existing technology.
This is the first step towards improving the safety and precision of industrial robotic arms.
The study was conducted by a research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS), led by Assistant Professor Chen Po-Yen.
Fabricated using flexible, stretchable, and electrically conductive nanomaterials called MXenes, these novel strain sensors are ultra-thin, battery-free and can transmit data wirelessly.

The team is led by assistant professor Chen Po-Yen, from the NUS Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, who believes that their sensor design principles will ‘significantly enhance’ the performance of soft robots and electronic skins.
Fabricated using flexible, stretchable and electrically conducive nanomaterials called MXenes, the novel sensors are said to be ultra-thin, battery-free and able to transmit data wirelessly. The team’s work was published in the journal
