Researchers have developed a new reliable and durable sensor that can work in temperatures as high as 900 degrees Celsius or 1,650 degrees Fahrenheit and can be used in multiple industries. Extreme ...

A clock is by its very nature a device for measuring time, and thus it moves forward at a constant rate. But how about in a ...

These days, a lot of embedded projects feature some sort of screen, and a screen often creates a desire for a nice user interface. [Geoffrey Wells] has created a tool for developing web interfaces ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

As sensing technologies become increasingly multi- and inter-disciplinary, their role is rapidly evolving beyond signal detection. In this Viewpoint, five experts discuss emerging sensing paradigms, ...

Biosensors are devices used to detect the presence or concentration of a biological analyte, such as a biomolecule, a biological structure or a microorganism. Biosensors consist of three parts: a ...
