Due to their large sensing range of up to 2,000 mm, the sensors can detect components at great distances. The controller also has an extremely high resistance to ambient light of up to 50,000 lux, ...

Mechanical force is an essential feature for many physical and biological processes. Remote measurement of mechanical signals with high sensitivity and spatial resolution is needed for a wide range of ...

Optical sensors from Micro-Epsilon are being used to detect precise hole depths in turned metal components, offering a ...

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 ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

An optical coating technology has been developed that maintains the performance of LiDAR sensors—the "eyes" of autonomous vehicles—even in rain and fo ...

A new technical paper titled “Massively parallel and universal approximation of nonlinear functions using diffractive processors” was published by researchers at UCLA. “Nonlinear computation is ...

Ocean-borne phytoplankton collectively absorb almost as much carbon dioxide as all the trees and land plants on Earth. Besides giving seawater a greenish tinge, the plankton have a significant impact ...
