The brilliant metallic blue wings of Morpho butterflies dazzle the eye. Branched nanostructures on the wings scatter light in complex ways to produce this characteristic iridescent hue. By harnessing ...

Researchers have developed a battery-free sensor that reacts to sound waves, such as particular spoken words, producing enough vibrational energy to power an electronic device. The novel sensor would ...

Helium leaks are hard to detect. Helium is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and does not react with other chemical substances. Not only can we not see or smell it, but traditional gas sensors have ...

National Semiconductor today introduced two configurable sensor analog front-end (AFE) integrated circuits (ICs) with unique technology that work together with new tools to fast-track signal path ...

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...
