Printed methane sensors edge toward the field as emissions rules tighten
Low-cost printed gas sensor arrays are targeting the leak-detection gap left by expensive optical methane monitors, just as emissions reporting rules tighten.

Printed pressure arrays, biosensors, environmental sensing and the readout electronics that make them useful — the fastest-growing corner of printed electronics.
Printable pressure sensors find their volume market in soft robotics
After a decade of conference demos, printed pressure arrays are shipping in soft grippers, rehabilitation wearables and surgical training tools — applications where conformality beats the precision of silicon MEMS at a fraction of the cost.
