Interest in plasmonic metal nanoparticles and their many different applications has grown rapidly, developing across a broad spectrum over the past two decades. What makes these particles so special ...

Riding in as the industry’s first optical lid sensor chip for tablet computers, notebooks, and smartphones, the CM36262 integrates lid, ambient-light, and proximity sensors into a single chip that the ...

Designers of composites are learning that if they are to be able to guarantee component and system performance, repeatability and reliability, it is critical that they have access to more sensor and ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

Industrial sensors using fiber-optic cables often have a role sensing small targets or working under conditions that would hamper other types of sensors. Fiber-optic cables contain thin strands of ...

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 ...
