Pulling back the veil on the exact nature of this mechanism ... the cells glow in varying colors depending on how much stretch the sensor is under. In this study, the force sensor is inserted ...

Multi-axis wireless load cells and digital technology have changed the face of force sensors. Until about 10 years ago, the force test and measurement industry had been fairly unimaginative.

While optical and semiconductor sensor technologies are quite accurate, strain gages provide the most accurate and flexible force measurement for multiaxis load cells. Semiconductor-type sensing ...

Researchers have now discovered how the muscle-specific adhesion molecule metavinculin modulates mechanical force transduction on the molecular level. The ability of cells to sense and respond to ...
