Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed an optical sensor that could help solve this problem. Room thermostats are used in almost every building today to regulate the ...

Although a wide variety of sensors have been enabled by optical technology, one of the more recent advances is the use of Bragg grating sensors in planar silica waveguides to provide in-line ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level ...

Hybrid optical scanners are here to stay. Another common fingerprint scanner type used today is the capacitive scanner. While these types of sensors were once common on the back of smartphones ...

A pioneering study investigating the brain activity of dogs during scent detection has unveiled crucial insights into their ...

Imagine fiber optic cables acting as vast sensor networks, detecting vibrations for everything from earthquake warnings to ...

"The quantum sensors used make it possible to convert magnetic resonance signals into optical signals. These signals are captured by a camera and displayed as images," explains Dominik Bucher ...

Though it did delete one: the MK3S removed the optical encoder sensor used in the MK3, and with it the ability to sense filament movement. Users would have to decide if keeping the ability to ...
