Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to ...

A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the rules of optical imaging, ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

Ocean-borne phytoplankton collectively absorb almost as much carbon dioxide as all the trees and land plants on Earth. Besides giving seawater a greenish tinge, the plankton have a significant impact ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...

Millions of older hospital patients and nursing home residents suffer excruciating bed sores each year, some of which are fatal. Now, new research could put an end to that with the development of tiny ...

When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...
