Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial ...

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, ...

When a stroke or a vocal cord injury strips someone of the ability to speak, the simplest interactions become exhausting.

The Ikhana unmanned aircraft system has been used by NASA last year to fight wildfires from the sky and this month to provide images of current Californian wildfires to authorities (link to NASA ...

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have developed an optical computing framework that performs large-scale nonlinear computations using linear materials. Subscribe to our ...

For decades, people with diabetes have relied on finger pricks to withdraw blood or adhesive microneedles to measure and manage their glucose levels. In addition to being painful, these methods can ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The approach uses multiple sensors to collect raw light patterns independently, then ...

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Oslomet, and the University of Tabriz in East Azerbaijan, have demonstrated a new method for detecting coronavirus in blood ...
