It’s certainly handy to know how fast gears or wheels are spinning, but equipping them with external sensors can be awkward and may affect their performance. That’s why scientists have devised a method of 3D-printing wireless sensors right into the thi… Continue reading MechSense 3D-prints wireless rotational sensors right into moving parts
The US Marine Corps has decided to purchase Northrop Grumman’s all-in-one Next Generation Handheld Targeting System (NGHTS) that packs a suite of day/night targeting sensors in a 10-lb (4.5-kg) package and can operate in GPS-denied areas.Continue Readi… Continue reading US Marines to get Northrop Grumman NGHTS four-in-one targeting device
Mercury can definitely be harmful in large amounts, and detecting its presence in foods or liquids typically requires lab-based tests. A new nanosensor, however, can quickly detect even tiny concentrations of the heavy metal onsite, simply by tapping o… Continue reading Simple and effective mercury sensor taps into the power of tapping
Last year, Samsung demonstrated the power of its monstrous 200-megapixel camera sensor by printing a billboard-sized cat photo taken on a phone. Now the company has started mass producing its successor, the Isocell HP2.Continue ReadingCategory: Mobile … Continue reading Samsung improves the 200-MP formula for Isocell HP2 smartphone camera sensor
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) can have negative consequences for both marine life and human health, so it can be helpful to have early warning of when they’re on the way. …read more Continue reading Detecting Algal Blooms with the Help of AI
While bicycles appear to have standardized around a relatively common shape and size, parts for these bikes are another story entirely. It seems as though most reputable bike manufacturers are …read more Continue reading Developing an Open Source Bike Computer
The REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep plays an important role in learning, memory and brain development. Currently, lab-based tests are required to directly gauge how much REM sleep a person is getting. The SomaSleep mask, however, is claimed to … Continue reading SomaSleep mask brings REM analysis out of the lab and into your bed
While some assistance is available to individuals who lack the power of speech, verbally communicating with other people can still be challenging. A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it’s able to “read” the wearer’s silently mouthed words.Cont… Continue reading Facial strain sensor could give a voice to the voiceless
A team of engineers has developed a new type of camera that can detect radiation in terahertz (THz) wavelengths. This new imaging system can see through certain materials in high detail, which could make it useful for security scanners and other sensor… Continue reading New camera system taps into terahertz wavelengths for better imaging
One of the dangerous things about sports-related concussions is the fact that athletes may not realize they have one, so they don’t seek much-needed medical attention. A new sensor could let them (or their coaches) know, and it would go on their neck, … Continue reading Neck-worn “bandage” sensors could better warn of concussions
