A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using ...

A thumbnail-sized diamond chip just pulled off something that quantum physics says should be extraordinarily difficult: ...

Learn how laser, eddy and other displacement sensors work and how they plug into IIoT PdM systems. They’re game changers on ...

Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical switches. Sensor selection for these ...

(Nanowerk News) Instead of a pan and a pick ax, prospectors of the future might seek gold with a hand-held biosensor that uses a component of DNA to detect traces of the element in water. The gold ...

In many applications, harsh ambient conditions present a significant challenge for sensor technology. In such cases, ultrasonic sensors that are largely unaffected by physical influences become ...

With their high chemical and thermal resistance, metal cushions are a sensible alternative to elastomer components. The elasticity and damping of the wire mesh is based on the interaction of ...

Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position of their rotating targets by generating a series of pulses. Tachometer generators and many other conventional rotation monitors ...

Sensors play a large role in gathering information in a multitude of automotive and aerospace test setups. Brett Burger, an engineer at National Instruments specializing in aerospace applications, ...
