Researchers have developed a set of gloves that contain pressure sensors with the aim of helping doctors check pressure during routine examinations . The gloves are made up of composite nanofibres of carbon nanotubes and graphene , which measure pressure in 144 places around the glove , and are transparent and bendable , whilst being sensitive enough to detect small pressure changes within an artificial pressure vessel .
Researchers have unveiled a set of gloves that contain pressure sensors with the aim of helping doctors check tumours during routine examinations. The gloves are made up of composite nanofibres of carbon nanotubes and graphene, can measure pressure in 144 places around the glove, and are transparent and bendable, whilst being sensitive enough to detect small pressure changes within an artificial blood vessel.
