This new sensor demonstrates exceptional acetylene-detection sensitivity with a simple fiber-splicing design, which could ...

Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

Designers of composites are learning that if they are to be able to guarantee component and system performance, repeatability and reliability, it is critical that they have access to more sensor and ...

Scientists at Oxford University have developed a novel sensor made of incredibly thin strands of sapphire that can withstand extreme heat and radiation. The breakthrough is billed as a solution to a ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

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, ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. For the first time, researchers ...
