For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. For the first time, researchers ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

Researchers are making key advances with a new type of optical sensor that more closely mimics the human eye's ability to perceive changes in its visual field. Researchers at Oregon State University ...

Maxim Integrated introduces it’s new MAXREFDES27# IO-Link subsystem reference design that lets operators tune and calibrate an optical proximity sensor with excellent accuracy, up to 14 bit resolution ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.
