A small, inexpensive sensor could save lives by triggering an alarm when children or pets are left alone in vehicles. The new device, developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo,... Read more
Sensor can monitor wiring in a building or ship, and signal when repairs are needed. A new system devised by researchers at MIT can monitor the behavior of all electric devices within a buil... Read more
Researchers at Washington State University have developed an implantable, biofuel-powered sensor that runs on sugar and can monitor a body’s biological signals to detect, prevent and diagnos... Read more
A self-powered sensor developed at the University of Waterloo could allow doctors to remotely monitor the recovery of surgical patients. The small, tube-like device is designed to be fitted... Read more
Hydrogen peroxide-sensing molecule reveals whether chemotherapy drugs are having their intended effects. MIT chemical engineers have developed a new sensor that lets them see inside cancer c... Read more
Different from the inorganic counterparts like silicon, organic semiconductors can operate under bending or stretching. Usually a thinner film can have stronger capability to bend. Other tha... Read more
The sensor is light, flexible and inexpensive, with potential applications in health care, entertainment and robotics. The technology, described in a paper published in January in the journa... Read more
Picture a tablet that you can fold into the size of a phone and put away in your pocket, or an artificial skin that can sense your body’s movements and vital signs. A new, inexpensive senso... Read more
A laser and detector in one: a microscopic sensor has been developed at TU Wien, which can be used to identify different gases simultaneously. As humans, we sniff out different scents and ar... Read more
Made of pure copper, the ultra-thin ‘shell’ conceals sensors from remote inspection while still allowing them to probe the exterior environment A team of researchers from the National Univer... Read more
New sensing technology could improve our ability to detect diseases, fraudulent art, chemical weapons and more From airport security detecting explosives to art historians authenticating pai... Read more
VTT has developed a sensor that detects ethanol in the headspace of a food package. Ethanol is formed as a result of food spoilage. The sensor signal is wirelessly readable, for instance, by... Read more
Tiny device could be incorporated into “smart packaging” to improve food safety MIT chemists have devised an inexpensive, portable sensor that can detect gases emitted by rotting meat, allow... Read more
They are found wherever other measurement methods fail: magnetic sensors. They defy harsh environmental conditions and also function in fluids. A new procedure is now revolutionizing the pro... Read more
LUT is developing an entirely new kind of welding system, one which solves quality and productivity problems related to automated and mechanised welding. The system is self-adjusting, flexib... Read more
