Pressure Sensors Made of “White Graphene”
August 22, 2017 | Terry Sharrer
Materials scientists at the Technical University of Delft and at Cambridge University have engineered a process to make microscopic pressure sensors by overlaying a hexagonal boron nitride (aka white graphene) sheet upon a silicon substrate. The result is a two layer material which forms drum-like structures that act as mechanical resonators measuring pressures. There are many applications for this white graphene in laboratory and medical instruments. MORE
