Resistive

“Strange metals” exhibit some unusual conductive properties and surprisingly, even have things in common with black holes. Now, a new study has characterized them in more detail, and found that strange metals constitute a new state of matter.

We've already seen systems that detect driver fatigue via steering wheel movements, but engineering firm Hoffman and Krippner has developed what its designers believe is a better alternative – a fatigue-sensing steering wheel add-on that tracks the driver's grip.

Getac’s line of rugged Tablet PCs will be the first commercially-available rugged computers to offer a multi-touch screen based on resistive technology that works with or without gloves.
