Piezoresistive sensors

Piezoresistive sensors are devices that measure changes in pressure or force by altering their electrical resistance. When pressure is applied, the material's shape slightly changes, causing its resistance to fluctuate. This change can be detected and converted into an electrical signal, which can then be used to determine the amount of force or pressure applied. These sensors are commonly found in applications like pressure gauges, medical devices, and touchscreens, making them essential for accurately monitoring physical forces in various industries.
