Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) with colleagues from Russia, Japan, and Australia have developed a multi-purpose sensor based on a specially designed gold film which surface contains millions of parabolic nanoantennas produced by femtosecond laser printing. The sensor identifies molecules at trace concentration detecting them in liquid and …

Nanusens disruptive technology, which is set to change the MEMS sensor market with an innovative way to make MEMS-within-CMOS, has been shortlisted in three different categories in the 2019 Elektra Awards – Design Team of the Year, Start-up of the Year and Best Campaign of the Year. The award ceremony takes …

Among the many performance and monitoring tests required to ensure dependable and durable engine performance across a wide range of power applications is the need to measure relative shaft vibration in dynamometers. This is where Sensonics‘ proximity probes which make an essential contribution to overall engine performance. A recent example is a …

At first glance, the idea seems quite extraordinary: Elon Musk’s Hyperloop, designed to transport people and goods at speeds of over 1,000 kilometers per hour. In the Hyperloop pod competition staged each year at Los Angeles, the Swissloop team came second out of 21 entrants – and Switzerland’s representatives also …

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) has launched a competition seeking proposals to develop and demonstrate a number of novel technologies or applications in the area of Electro-Optics and Infrared (EOIR) to address the future need for highly capable and affordable sensors. EOIR sensors are a key military capability used …

To investigate the vastly unexplored oceans covering most our planet, researchers aim to build a submerged network of interconnected sensors that send data to the surface — an underwater “internet of things.” But how to supply constant power to scores of sensors designed to stay for long durations in the …

Conventionally, bioinstrumentation circuits for health care and medical use have consisted of hard electronic devices, such as silicon transistors. However, when soft biological tissues, such as skin, come into contact with hard electronic devices, they tend to become inflamed. Therefore, monitoring of biosignals in everyday life over a long period …

Researchers at Binghamton University have found a way to improve the performance of tiny sensors that could have wide-reaching implications for electronic devices we use every day. The study finds a more reliable way to use actuators that control MEMS (microelectromechanical systems), which are microscopic devices with moving parts that …

Chelsea Technologies has announced the appointment of Elizabeth Paull as its new managing director. Paull, who joins the company from leading subsea technology developer Sonardyne International, has been appointed to further develop Chelsea Technologies as a market leader in environmental sensing technology across a variety of industry sectors, and particularly in …

The recent massive southern California earthquakes shut down Ridgecrest Regional Hospital throughout the 4 July holiday weekend while the tiny town of Ridgecrest assessed the damages. A new optical sensor developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) could speed up the time it takes to evaluate whether critical buildings …
