A new prototype sensor is capable of detecting errors in MRI scans using laser light and gas. The new sensor can thereby do what is impossible for current electrical sensors -- and hopefully pave the ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed an ultrasonic sensor technology that applies a ...

The sooner a farmer knows that their crops are suffering, the faster they can take action to prevent major crop failure. A new plant-leaf-poking sensor could soon help them do so, by sending an alert ...

Despite being related to the humble freshwater perch, the Atlantic goliath grouper grows to be huge – up to 8 feet long (2.4 m) and 800 lb (363 kg). Scientists have recently learned more about its ...

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

A wearable sensor designed to monitor intestinal gas suggests the average person may let rip around 32 times a day For ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have demonstrated that quantum entanglement between pairs of atomic defects in diamond can sharpen nanoscale sensors well beyond ...

BEAVERTON, Oregon — Vernier Science Education recently launched the Go Direct ® Soil Moisture Sensor to help high school and college-level students easily and accurately collect data during soil ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...

Work on new sensor materials is constantly evolving, and one of the most promising concepts is sensor paints and coatings. When testing for a concentration of a component of a gas or liquid, a normal ...
