Students will apply their knowledge of physical science concepts to create a lunar lander game using Scratch. They will use Vernier force and acceleration sensors to understand forces and integrate ...

In thermal acceleration sensing the measurement of acceleration relies on convective heat transport within a micrometre‐scale cavity rather than on the displacement of a solid proof mass. A central ...

Recent sensor technology developments are enabling revolutionary improvements in robotics and other industrial system designs. In addition to robotics, applications where inertial sensors can ...

Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

Sensors are all around. They are in automatic doors, at cash registers, in doctors’ offices and hospitals. They are used inside the body and outside. Sensors detect aspects of the physical world – ...
