MIT scientists have created the first completely digitally manufactured plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. These plasma sensors, also known as retarding potential analyzers (RPAs), are used by ...

Tactile sensors are widely used in robotics, prosthetics, wearable devices, and healthcare monitoring. These devices detect and convert external stimuli such as pressure and force into electrical ...

Pressure sensors are important tools for accurate sensing of applied forces. However, they can mostly sense forces along only a single direction. In a new study, scientists take things to the next ...

(Nanowerk News) Certain types of sensors detect and identify different types of hazardous pollutants, such as toxic or explosive gases. Some also measure gas concentration. The majority of our days ...

Researchers from Adelaide University’s Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing and the University of Stuttgart are ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

If you’re concerned about the toxicity levels emitted by your 3D printer, a new project offers a solution to help protect your home or business from harmful pollutants. While it’s exciting to watch ...
