Oil, Water and Graphene Help Prevent Crib Deaths

Jan-10-18 A life-saving smart sensor able to detect minute motions could help to prevent sudden infant death syndrome.

The prototype smart sensor, from a team at the University of Sussex, is made up of a flexible rubber tube that has been filled with oil, water and graphene particles. When the sensor is stretched even the smallest amount—such as by respiration or the wearer’s pulse—the electrical conductivity of the liquid changes. Any unusual changes can be detected and an alert sent to a paired device, allowing parents to respond before the condition becomes life-threatening.
