Ultrasonic sensors have been a staple in the sensing space for several decades due to their capabilities, flexibility, and low cost. As the rise of IoT finds its way into virtually every market and ...

Hydraulic applications rely upon fluid power or pressurized fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. These systems are capable of producing high power and high forces in small volumes and have ...

Smart sensor nodes are the “canaries in a coal mine” for the industrial IoT, sensitively monitoring industrial equipment for vibrations, electrical current and voltage changes, temperature, sound, and ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using ...

This article details six essential sensors, along with four necessary questions a design engineer should ask before choosing which ones to use in their next design. In the R&D and electronics design ...

Sensors are the “eyes” and “ears” of processors, co-processors, and computing modules. They come in all shapes, forms, and functions, and they are being deployed in a rapidly growing number of ...

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst report that they have developed a novel bioelectronic ammonia gas sensor. The sensor uses electric-charge-conducting protein nanowires ...

Whenever a heart beats, it pumps blood into arteries. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of those arteries. Blood pressure is a central vital sign in a range of critical ...
