Sensor based on smart response of two-dimensional nanomaterial and associated method

A device comprising:

• a first two-dimensional layer applied to a substrate;
• a second two-dimensional layer applied to the first two-dimensional layer, wherein the first two-dimensional layer and the second two-dimensional layer form a bi-layer element, wherein there is a starting electrical resistance across the bi-layer element, wherein a physical change to the bi-layer element results in a creation of atomic vacancies at an interface between the first two-dimensional layer and the second two-dimensional layer, and wherein the creation of the atomic vacancies reduces the starting electrical resistance to a lower value;
• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• detecting that the starting electrical resistance has been reduced.
