  • Pressure sensors in the eye
    Sensors can monitor production processes, unmask tiny cracks in aircraft hulls and determine the amount of laundry in a washing machine. In future, they will also be used in the human body and raise the alarm in the event of high pressure in the eye, bladder or brain.
