With a 5-mm vertical slot, 0.5-mm aperture, 0.4-mm resolution and a 10% (typ.) current transfer ratio, the TCST1210 transmissive optical sensor is designed to provide highly accurate sensing of ...

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

A design of microstructured optical fibre (MOF) that features a slot running along its length to expose its core could potentially provide a convenient answer to real-time sensing of chemicals and ...

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 ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

At some time or another, we’ve all had an idea we thought was so clever that we jumped on the Internet to see if somebody else had already come up with it. Most of the time, they have. But on the off ...
