In recent years, with the rapid development of flexible electronic skins, high-performance flexible tactile sensors have received more attention and have been used in many fields such as artificial ...

Engineers unlock the power of exceptional points (EPs) for advanced optical sensing. EPs -- specific conditions in systems where extraordinary optical phenomena can occur -- can be deployed on ...

Replay: About a year ago, we covered the ISO and ASA systems as they apply differently to film and video cameras. There's been a lot of interest in that article, especially when it was republished ...

NEC has developed an uncooled IR image sensor that incorporates high-purity semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the IR detection area. The company claims the new sensor achieves more than three ...

Twist, bend and stretch The new stretchable sensor can detect even minor changes in strain with greater range of motion than previous technologies. The patterned cuts enable large deformation without ...

Highly sensitive sensors show promise in enhancing human touch Ultrathin crack-based sensors operate on a principle similar to a spider's sense organ and display remarkable sensitivity to movement ...

Quantum sensors can measure extremely small changes in an environment by taking advantage of quantum phenomena like entanglement, where entangled particles can affect each other, even when separated ...

Inspired by cat vibrissae, biomimetic biomass PHFs/SA aerogels (BFAs) are developed via precursor-assisted in situ polymerization and freeze-synergistic assembly. These ultralight, porous pressure ...

Inspired by cat whiskers, researchers have developed ultra-sensitive, eco-friendly pressure sensors from hemp fiber aerogels. The unique sensor is not only low energy, but also highly sensitive and ...

A dual resonator graphene sensor measures pressure with exceptional precision and stability, using built-in temperature compensation to maintain accuracy across wide pressure and temperature ranges.
