Micro Sensors: Monitoring the Health of Spacecraft and Premature Infants

The video discusses a NASA-sponsored research project at the University of Cincinnati focused on developing micro sensors to monitor the health of spacecraft components. These sensors, which are extremely small, can be embedded in critical engine parts to ensure proper functioning. The research also explores the use of these sensors in detecting vibrations and cracks in spacecraft. Additionally, the video highlights potential medical applications, such as monitoring respiratory conditions in premature infants, by integrating sensors into ventilator tubes. The advanced technology offers promising solutions for both aerospace and medical fields.
