Abstract This paper suggests development of a flexible, lightweight, and ultra-sensitive piezoresistive flow sensor based on vertical graphene nanosheets (VGNs) with mazelike structure. The was thoroughly characterized for steady-state oscillatory water monitoring applications. results demonstrated high sensitivity (103.91 mV (mm/s) −1 ) very low-velocity detection threshold (1.127 mm s in monitoring. As one many potential applications, we that the proposed VGNs/PDMS can closely mimic...

Drowning is considered amongst the top 10 causes of unintentional death, according to World Health Organization (WHO). Therefore, anti-drowning systems that can save lives by preventing and detecting drowning are much needed. This paper proposes a robust waterproof sensor-based device detect distress in swimmers at varying depths different types water environments. The proposed comprises four main components, including heart rate, blood oxygen level, movement, depth sensors. Although these...
