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 ...

ARTIFICIAL skin embedded with optical sensors could help robots develop a more human touch. Existing sensors, such as those based on simple pressure switches and motor resistance, are limited in their ...

Chemists have developed a molecular system capable of very precise optical pressure measurements. The gemstone ruby served as the source of inspiration. Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz ...

Sensor developer AMS, the coordinator of the Highly Integrated Optical Sensors (HIOS) research consortium has announced the successful completion of this novel optical senosr R&D project. The HIOS ...

Researchers developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that can measure small pressure changes. Adding a side hole that runs parallel to the fiber core enhanced the pressure ...

Delray Beach, FL, March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The report "Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Market by Fiber Type (Single-Mode, Multimode), Operating Principle (OTDR, OFDR), Scattering Process ...

Researchers in China have developed a rice-sized optical sensor that could give surgical robots ...

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability. When a patient attends an A&E or neurocritical care unit with a head injury, one of the most important parameters to assess injury ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...
