Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

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 ...

New research has shown how the quantum mechanical principle of strong coupling opens unrivalled possibilities for designing optical filters. A team of researchers from the University of Cologne, ...

For decades, people with diabetes have relied on finger pricks to withdraw blood or adhesive microneedles to measure and manage their glucose levels. In addition to being painful, these methods can ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.

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 ...

Readers with long memories will remember the days when mice and other similar pointing devices relied upon a hard rubber ball in contact with your desk or other surface, that transmitted any motion to ...

Cameras may soon see without lenses, and the change could be as profound as the leap from film to digital. A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the ...

TSMC subsidiary VisEra Technology, which offers image sensor foundry, wafer-level testing and wafer-level optical film services, is expected to land orders for customized wafer-level thin films needed ...
