We’ve also seen a spring elegantly used as a hidden touch sensor that works through an enclosure’s wall by using similar principles, so the next time you need a proximity or touch-sensitive ...

Even in the fuzzy, probabilistic world of quantum physics, though, there’s a limit on how small you can go. Both ...

Loggerhead turtles “dance” when exposed to food-associated magnetic fields, and their magnetic map may help them return to specific areas after long migrations.

An accelerometer measures the acceleration of your phone. It does that on three axes: horizontal, vertical, and forward/backward. It also senses vibration, tilt, and free fall. Being able to calculate ...

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) must be able to survey their surroundings in real time and make decisions based on what’s ...

Abstract: This study presents a magnetic field-temperature-refractive index sensor based on surface plasmon resonance and photonic crystal fiber. The sensor integrates three independent sensing ...

Quantum sensors offer exceptional precision in measuring magnetic fields ... The goal of the program is to ensure these sensors work reliably outside the lab and can be integrated into Department ...
