STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

Two space companies have collaborated to demonstrate automated close approaches between spacecraft using a single camera as the primary sensor.

The main issue with bionic hands that drives users away from them, George explains, is that they’re difficult to control.

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...

There are a lot of options for local weather stations; most of them, however, are sensors tied to a base station, often requiring an internet connection to access all features. [Vinnie] over at ...

Synthesis of nanostructured cubic phase SnO 2 thin film and its trace-level sensing of CO gas This study presents a cubic phase SnO 2 thin film gas sensor with ultra-high CO sensitivity and 1 ppb ...
