Nanospring pressure sensor arrays using refractory metals
Nanotechnology is something that always brings a smile to us and although the female condoms bizarrely surprised us the last time around, these pressure sensors will not shock us on this occasion. The purpose is to benefit artificial robot skins with this nanoscale sensor array using the minute dimensions at a scale of 20nm.
These Cr springs have the ability to touch each other under applied pressure and the ability to reverse the course of resistance. The supporters of micromachining techniques would also appreciate this minuscule precision, given the fact that these surreal standards are achieved using refractory metals and ceramics.
These Cr Springs have a high electrical resistance without applied load but direct pressure application transforms them into conductors. These sensors would respond with high-sensitivity pressure combined with damping behavior.
