#Nanostructure Changes Colour When Finger Comes Near Touchscreens suffer from mechanical wear over time and are a transmission path for bacteria

What they really want is to use it in touchless displays. ecause these sensors react in a very local manner to any increase in moisture,

it is quite conceivable that this sort of material with moisture-dependent properties could also be used for touchless displays

and monitors, said Ganter. Touchless screens of this kind would require nothing more than a finger to get near the display to change their electrical or optical properties and with them the input signal at a specific point on the display.

Taking phosphatoantimonate nanosheets as their basis the Stuttgart scientists then developed a photonic nanostructure which reacts to the moisture by changing colour. f this was built into a monitor,

the users would then receive visible feedback to their finger motionexplained Katalin Szendrei, also a doctoral student in Bettina Lotsch group.

for instance by moving a finger towards the screen. he reason for this lies in the storage of water molecules between the phosphatoantimonate layers,

A layer protecting against chemical influences has to let moisture through The scientists can imagine their materials being used in much more than just future generations of smartphones, tablets or notebooks. ltimately,
