Paper-based facile capacitive touch arrays for wireless mouse cursor control pad.

Wireless devices have become extremely inexpensive and popular in recent years. The two most significant advantages of wireless devices over wired ones are convenience and flexibility. Considering this, a wireless mouse pad prototype for access has been developed in this study.

Fast Response Facile Fabricated IDE-Based Ultra-sensitive Humidity Sensor for Medical Applications.

An eco-friendly, biodegradable, flexible, and facile fabricated interdigital electrode-based capacitive humidity sensor with applications in health and medicine has been reported here. Several sensors use copper tape as electrodes on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, with non-woven paper as the sensing layer. Two different configurations of sensors were tested, i.

Invisible touch sensors-based smart and disposable door locking system for security applications.

Nowadays, security is one of the living essentials, and there is a dire need for reliable, secure, and smarter locking systems. The stand-alone smart security systems are of great interest as they do not involve keys, cards, or unsecured communication in order to prevent carrying, loss, duplication, and hacking. Here, we report an invisible touch sensors-based smart door locking system (DLS).

Facile Pressure-Sensitive Capacitive Touch Keypad for a Green Intelligent Human-Machine Interface.

There is a great demand for human-machine interfaces (HMIs) in emerging electronics applications. However, commercially available plastic-based HMIs are primarily rigid, application-specific, and hard to recycle and dispose of due to their non-biodegradability. This results in electronic and plastic waste, potentially damaging the environment by ending up in landfills and water resources.

Garage-Fabricated, Ultrasensitive Capacitive Humidity Sensor Based on Tissue Paper.

The role of humidity sensors in different industries and field applications, such as agriculture, food monitoring, biomedical equipment, heating, and ventilation, is well known. However, most commercially available humidity sensors are based on polymers or electronic materials that are not degradable and thus contribute to electronic waste. Here, we report a low-cost, flexible, easy-to-fabricate, and eco-friendly parallel-plate capacitive humidity sensor for field applications.
