Negative Gauge Factor Piezoresistance in Soft Strain and Pressure Sensors: Mechanisms, Materials, and Emerging Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Negative‐gauge‐factor materials reverse the usual rule of piezoresistive sensing: their resistance falls, rather than rises, under deformation. This review organizes such behavior into four mechanistic classes spanning intrinsic semiconductors, composites, conducting polymers, and engineered architectures.

Sports Activity Recognition Using Textile‐Based Sensor Fusion and Complex‐Valued Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.
