Nanoscale Temperature and Force Sensors
Digid, Tel Aviv, Israel, has released nanoscale temperature and force sensors that are printed directly onto functional surfaces for embedded measurement. Fabricated using printed-electronics processes, the sensors are deposited directly onto silicon, metal, or polymer substrates without discrete packaging. High spatial resolution and rapid response enable localized monitoring of thermal and mechanical loads. The ultra-thin sensor layers add negligible mass or stiffness, supporting integration into medical devices, laboratory automation, and precision research instruments.

Capacitive Touch Sensors
Designed to eliminate mechanical switches in sealed interfaces, capacitive touch sensor modules are available from EBE sensors + motion, Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany. The TCRC series senses actuation through glass or polymer overlays, eliminating mechanical switches and wear points. Adjustable sensitivity, noise filtering, and environmental compensation support reliable operation with gloves, moisture, or cleaning agents present. The sensors are designed for long service life in hygienic control panels for medical and laboratory equipment.
