A new prototype sensor is capable of detecting errors in MRI scans using laser light and gas. The new sensor can thereby do what is impossible for current electrical sensors -- and hopefully pave the ...

BEAVERTON, Oregon — Vernier Science Education recently launched the Go Direct ® Soil Moisture Sensor to help high school and college-level students easily and accurately collect data during soil ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...

Dangerous, frontline firefighting jobs may get a bit safer thanks to new heat-sensing sensors designed by NASA. The sensors ...

Imagine sticking a patch made of flexible electronics on your skin that could read your body temperature, monitor your blood circulation, even tell you when you need to put on sunscreen — and that ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

Data-driven smart technologies are ubiquitous in homes and commercial buildings. Urban planners have also adopted these sensor devices for city-scale environmental monitoring, traffic management, and ...

Work on new sensor materials is constantly evolving, and one of the most promising concepts is sensor paints and coatings. When testing for a concentration of a component of a gas or liquid, a normal ...
