Abstract

Abstract : A flexible microfluidic diaphragm pressure sensor using liquid‐metal microchannels is presented by Ali Javey and co‐workers in article number1701985 . The sensor is capable of detecting pressures less than 100 Pa with a resolution of less than 50 Pa. Both heart‐rate monitoring and tactile pressure mapping of a glove with multiple embedded sensors are demonstrated.
