Ultra-Thin Capacitive Sensor Has the Least Possible Resistance to Motion

A thin and flexible sensor was developed for sensing sounds, since it can move with the airflow made by even the softest noises. With the least possible resistance to motion, the sensor addresses issues with accelerometers, microphones, and many other similar sensors. The goal was to create a sensor that only resists gravity. It needs to stay connected to the device, but otherwise needed to move with even the slightest sounds or air movement. Being able to move with the air is how sensors are able to tell when a sound is present and from which direction it is coming.
