Scientists inspired sensor high sensitivity from spider




According to technology news site engadget  reported that South Korean scientists have invented a principle called "Spider-nanometer gap sensor" device, this can make use of wearable sensors rely on the legs of a spider courtship vibration sensory organs, so an ordinary person has a "sixth sense like Spider-Man." According to "Nature" magazine describes the researchers added viscoelastic polymer surface thickness of 20 nm platinum layer, set up the sensor framework.

  By making the surface of the platinum variant extension, they had a gap between the upper and lower layers, exposing the underlying polymer, they take the measure conductance sensor surface.

  The entire system is unique in that the gap spacing between the sensor reaches the nano level, which will ensure a high sensitivity sensor. For example, when the sensor is arranged on the surface of the violin, it can accurately record the music in every note, and its "translation" to an external device, the output of electronic music. Another more interesting is that the sensor worn on the wrist, it can accurately measure human heartbeat.

  Soon after, this wearable sensor devices will enter the market, not only long life, flexible, and very easy to manufacture, and its features include healthcare in the measurement of blood pressure, pulse and so on.
