Most printed electronics applications rely on some kind of ink formulated with conductive nanomaterials (read more: "Conductive nanomaterials for printed electronics applications"). Researchers have ...

Capacitive sensors work by detecting the change of capacitance introduced by the finger touching near the electrode. Such change is so small that detecting it unambiguously is challenging, and has ...

The Archos ChildPad is a 7 inch tablet designed for children. But despite the cartoon-inspired wallpapers and kid-friendly colors, the $129 has some halfway decent specs, including a 1 GHz ARM ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Archos has quietly upgraded its Child Pad tablet with a capacitive touch screen, which adds an extra $10 to the device’s price tag. Archos has quietly upgraded its Child Pad tablet with a capacitive ...

InFocus is adding premium capabilities, including projected capacitive touch and 4K resolution, to a variety of its interactive touchscreen and video conferencing solutions, the company announced ...

A new projected-capacitive controller from Microchip facilitates design integration of capacitive scanning for touchscreens and touchpads, including 11 single-finger gestures to swipe, scroll, or ...

Today’s homes and workplaces are increasingly pervaded by smart appliances, which are designed to be attractive and reliable, and ideally should support interactions that are as easy and rewarding as ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...
