Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls in electromechanical systems. Historically, designers implemented these sensors with microswitches and potentiometers that detect motion ...

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...

Next generation electronic devices face major technical challenges, which will affect both power management performance and efficiency. Increasingly, conversion and power management applications are ...

(Nanowerk News) In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team from Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea's IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) developed a quantum sensor ...

While autonomous drones are now pretty good at avoiding large obstacles, thin suspended power lines can still pose a challenge. A new onboard sensing system, however, could change that. Currently, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Microsystems & Nanoengineering, researchers describe a groundbreaking novel fabrication process for a touchless interactive device ('skin') using a flexible ...

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...

SBQuantum, a Canadian company, is set to launch a quantum diamond magnetometer to space ...
