Capacative Sensing Technology

When we hear about smartphones being used to perform analytical tasks, there's often also a device that's connected to the phone. According to a new study, though, a phone's own touchscreen could soon be used to test drinking water and other liquids.

A group of scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) have developed an electrocardiogram (ECG) that operates from within a car’s driver’s seat.

ISGLOVES are mittens with ends that fold back, to expose conductive inner gloves that can be used with capacitive touchscreen devices.

Sony Ericsson has announced earphones which control how a mobile phone behaves simply by placing or removing them from the ears
