An atom-based magnetic sensor the size of a sugar cube has successfully measured human brain activity, a milestone that could ultimately lead to advancing our understanding of a wide range of ...

A tiny sensor that can detect magnetic field changes as small as 70 femtoteslas-equivalent to the brain waves of a person daydreaming-has been demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and ...

SMARTFIBER concept of SHM system using Fiber Bragg Grating sensors embedded into a composite tidal turbine blade. SOURCE: SMARTFIBER project. Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an emerging ...

Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

The prospect of exploiting spider silk's combination of optical and mechanical properties has been an attractive proposition to designers for some time. Back in 2008 a project at Tufts University ...

The ability to detect X-rays on a tiny scale paves the way for high-precision medical imaging and therapies. Such detection capabilities have been achieved by researchers who attached an X-ray sensor ...
