Fiber-optic sensor reads strain through electrical signals, skipping optical analyzers

Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The ...

Motion-enhanced sensor captures ultra-high-resolution images, overcoming a pixel miniaturization bottleneck

Digital image sensors (DIS), devices that capture images by converting light patterns into electrical signals, are integrated ...

This tiny grain-of-rice sensor gives robots a new sense and changes what delicate tools can detect

Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...
