Researchers from France's FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and scientists from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées in Lyon, Florida have developed a scalable, low-cost, flexible motion sensor. According to an article in Materials and Design, the team created sensors from wafer-thin, flexible sheets of nanotubes, known as buckypaper, which then had silver electrodes printed on them, using an everyday inkjet machine. The team said the motion sensors had many applications, from sleep-monitoring bed linen to monitoring workouts to the internet of things.
