Fig. 1 Overview of the OFN sensor. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFN sensing system; (B) Photographs of the output light when the sensor was untouched, (C) subjected to normal force, and (D) subjected ...

Levitating sensors are moving from science-fiction imagery to practical laboratory tools, promising a new generation of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers from Columbia Engineering have developed new nanoscale force sensors. These sensors are luminescent nanocrystals that can change color ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...

New York, NY—January 1, 2025—Mechanical force is an essential feature for many physical and biological processes. Remote measurement of mechanical signals with high sensitivity and spatial resolution ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability. When a patient attends an A&E or neurocritical care unit with a head injury, one of the most important parameters to assess injury ...

A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...
