This Collection invites submissions of original research into methods that support the deployment of optical fibre sensors, driving advancements in precise and reliable sensing technologies. Optical ...
A fibre-optic acoustic sensor that can detect a person up to 10 m away could soon be deployed in many demanding security applications. Jacqueline Hewett talks to David Hill at QinetiQ to find out just ...
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, ...
Fiber optic sensors - used in critical applications like detecting fires in tunnels, pinpointing leaks in pipelines and predicting landslides - are about to get even faster and more accurate. EPFL ...
In a statement, PolyU described the novel Side Hole Polymer Optical Fibre Sensors as "biocompatible, supple and extremely sensitive to very small pressure changes inside the human body". Professor Hwa ...
Scientists at Oxford University have developed a novel sensor made of incredibly thin strands of sapphire that can withstand extreme heat and radiation. The breakthrough is billed as a solution to a ...
A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...
Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...
