It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Researchers have reported a zero-dimensional metal halide that switches its fluorescence ON through two independent pathways: ...

Air bubble sensors are used to detect air or gas bubbles in flexible clear plastic tubes. They are intended to prevent air infusions. The air bubble sensor has no contact with the liquid and is ...

The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...

NxtPhase T&D Corporation has announced the NXCT-F3 flexible optical current sensor. The latest addition to the NxtPhase range of optical CTs, the NXCT-F3’s flexible, fiber optic head wraps around high ...

New surface-mount optical sensors increase vertical headroom, enabling more flexible encoder and position-sensing designs across industrial and consumer electronics.

Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) require full protection to avoid damage and failures resulting from conditions such as short circuits, overloads and overvoltages. The protection is key to ...
