The goal of the capacitive liquid sensor is to measure the change in capacitance or charge between two metal plates depending on the material between them, making it safe to use with any liquid. The ...

[Andy] needed a new set of locks for his tool cabinets at work, but not wanting to carry around another key (or to remember a combination!) he decided to throw this little hack together — solenoid ...

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 ...

In the grand scheme of things, one millimeter may not seem like a lot, but in the smartphone arms race toward ever-slimmer devices, measurements like that matter. Synaptics, best known for building ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- UltraSense Systems today announced the release of CapForce™ Edge, the industry's most advanced capacitive sensing controller—uniquely integrated with ...

“Interactive Fish Tank” is an installation that explores new, wet boundaries in touch-based interfaces. Developed in 2011 by Manuela Donoso and Crys Moore, Masters candidates at NYU’s Interactive ...

[Credit: Treehouse Projects] Whether you know it or not, you probably use a capacitive touch screen every day. Smartphones utilize the capacitive touch-sensing technology to interact with human skin ...

Capacitive sensing and imaging techniques have emerged as versatile and high‐resolution tools in the field of non‐destructive evaluation (NDE). By detecting variations in dielectric properties, these ...

Bringing capacitive-sensing capabilities to cost-sensitive applications, Texas Instruments announced an expansion of its MSP430 microcontroller family with CapTIvate technology. Developers can use the ...
