Study confirms that hydrogels work in a similar way to how humans detect pressure, paving the way for more ionic devices.
Briefs: Materials
Adding a flexible backing to this kind of brain-computer interface allows the device to more evenly conform to the brain’s complex curved surface and to more uniformly distribute the microneedles that pierce the cortex.
Briefs: Test & Measurement
The innovation opens the door for faster and more affordable at-home medical testing.
Briefs: Test & Measurement
The sensor tags, which are embedded with a processor and memory bank for acquired data, are placed about the vehicle and stream data only when queried by a fixed-location RFID interrogator.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
To benchmark performance of printed sensors against the state of the art, NASA has developed a low-power flexible sensor platform.
Articles: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Optical strain is material independent and measures the response of the integrated system, so designers can get a measure of the true response and strength of their designs.
Articles: Manufacturing & Prototyping
Wireless sensors are critical for the IIoT, but they need long-term, reliable battery power.
Products: Connectivity
The new products for October 2022, including silicon diode thermometry, a current sensor simulator, and more.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
Some wearable devices are already capable of measuring pulse rates or temperatures, but this team’s method would allow the technology to sense biomarkers related to metabolic disorders, like heart disease or diabetes.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
The sensor works by detecting variations in microgravity using the principles of quantum physics, which is based on manipulating nature at the sub-molecular level.
Application Briefs: Electronics & Computers
More than 80 percent of manufacturers experienced at least one instance of unplanned downtime during the past three years, and a single factory can lose $2.3 million annually due to unplanned stoppages.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
Made from 3D graphene foam, the sensors use a piezoresistive approach, meaning when the material is put under pressure it dynamically changes its electric resistance, easily detecting and adapting to the range of pressure required, from light to heavy.
Blog: Green Design & Manufacturing
One method for keeping removed carbon out of the atmosphere long-term involves injecting CO2 into rock formations deep underground.
INSIDER: Test & Measurement
A collaborative effort has installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size — smaller than an ant’s head — so that they can walk autonomously without...
INSIDER: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
Gears are sophisticated parts that play a vital role in cars, airplanes, construction and mining equipment, food processing, clock making, and more. And, companies are still trying to make them better —...
Briefs: Medical
Since it is a chemical sensor instead of being enzyme-based, the new technology is robust, has a long shelf-life and can be tuned to detect lower glucose concentrations than current systems.
INSIDER: Sensors/Data Acquisition
