Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

A multilayered semiconductor acting as an optical sensor opens the way to miniaturized, adjunct spectrometers.

The key to performance of LiDAR sensors and many other optoelectronic sensors lies in their optical system. No matter if automotive, industrial automation or safety and security is the application, ...

As evidenced by the Covid-19 pandemic, quick and non-invasive techniques to assess body temperature have become necessary. In various locations, including hospitals, airports and schools, non-contact ...

The prospect of exploiting spider silk's combination of optical and mechanical properties has been an attractive proposition to designers for some time. Back in 2008 a project at Tufts University ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...

Measuring just 25.1 mm x 12 mm x 3.6 mm thick, the VS2 Series Convergent-Mode sensors are self-contained miniature devices featuring a low profile that enables them to fit and function in confined ...
