Oregon State University researchers have developed a brain-inspired phototransistor that combines light sensing, memory, and ...

MEMS are helping to advance biomedical devices by leaps and bounds, but technical and business challenges remain. Charles Chung, Ph.D. Shown are different pressure sensor designs—each tailored to ...

The pacemaker is a medical device that was initially introduced in 1958. At that time, the device used external components and was far from inconspicuous or convenient. Image Credit: Amphenol Sensors ...

Sensors don't have to be used to be useful.

It takes months of R&D, numerous prototypes, and a few scrapped concepts for the design of a device used in patient care to be finalized and approved. However, one aspect is often still missing at ...

In-sensor computing could become a fundamentally new approach to the deployment of machine learning in small devices that must operate securely with limited energy resources, such as wearable medical ...

Edge computing on a smartphone has been used to analyze data collected by a multimodal flexible wearable sensor patch and detect arrhythmia, coughs and falls. Wearable sensors are devices that can be ...

Quantum mechanics states that electrons have two stable spins—up and down. With the advent of nanoscale fabrication methods, device companies are harnessing this knowledge to create devices. The ...

Risk management for drinking water often requires continuous monitoring of various toxins in flowing water. While they can be readily integrated with existing water infrastructure, two-dimensional (2D ...

Advanced sensors of this type might one day be able to help engineers pinpoint where to look to determine whether hidden ...
