Researchers unveiled SOLen, a 3D printed soft optical sensor that guides light with an internal lens for mechanosensing.

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 ...

Synergy between the primary optics and sensor in precision imaging defines the entire system’s operational boundaries. A significant amount of optical potential can be lost to the ‘crop factor’ when ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

This new sensor demonstrates exceptional acetylene-detection sensitivity with a simple fiber-splicing design, which could ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

In the pursuit of clean and renewable energy, hydrogen plays an important role. But a major challenge facing this transition is that the gas is explosive when mixed with air. For this reason, it is ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...
