A South Korean research team has developed a technology to fabricate micro-infrared sensors—which act as the "eyes" for electronic devices like robots and autonomous vehicles—using 3D printing, free ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

We all know that feeling: you've turned the lights off and are almost asleep when you hear that infamous buzz. A mosquito is hunting in your bedroom. The dance commences. You could turn on the lights, ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

Early-stage disease diagnosis relies on the highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavity sensors have emerged as a highly promising technology for ...

For over four decades, gas-leak-detection sensor tech has remained relatively unchanged and proven costly and often unreliable. Advances have changed the landscape, though, with sensors now including ...
