Learning from the lotus leaf
Inspired by the lotus leaf, the ‘eAir’ sensor achieves nearideal pressure sensing and is applicable in diverse liquid environments, including those involved in medical settings.

eing able to adapt to varying levels of pressure adeptly is a highly soughtafter trait. More so for pressure sensors.
Sensitive and reliable pressure sensors can help extend the human senses in many applications. In medicine, many devices now depend on accurate and stable pressure measurements to function reliably. From ensuring the optimal function of sleep apnea machines to delivering precise drug dosages through infusion pumps
