Graphene Flagship Spearhead Project AUTOVISION is developing a new high-resolution image sensor for autonomous vehicles, which can detect obstacles and road curvature even in extreme and difficult driving conditions.
An interview with Qurv’s CTO about wide spectrum image sensors for computer vision applications in self-driving cars and other mass-market autonomous systems.
The 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL), a project grown from the Graphene Flagship, has launched its first customisable wafer run targeting sensor applications. Companies, universities and research institutes can include their designs as dies on joint wafers, to test their ideas for devices on a larger scale at relatively low costs.
Graphene Flagship researchers have developed an innovative graphene sensor to capture the sound of a single bacterium. These graphene-enabled sensors tell apart living organisms, which enables researchers to identify drug-resistant bacteria through the detection of distinctive sounds.
Graphene is making great strides in smart footwear. Graphene Flagship partners have developed 3D printed insoles with embedded graphene sensors to monitor and enhance an athlete’s performance.
Graphene Flagship Partner ICN2, Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, have created graphene-based electroluminescent inks that work as effective gas detectors, paving the way for real-monitoring and greater air pollution awareness.
Graphene Flagship Associated Member Atomic Mechanics, have applied their expertise with graphene-enabled flexible sensors to enhance interactions with any surface, which could find different applications in robotic surgery.
