Due to their large sensing range of up to 2,000 mm, the sensors can detect components at great distances. The controller also has an extremely high resistance to ambient light of up to 50,000 lux, ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

Mechanical force is an essential feature for many physical and biological processes. Remote measurement of mechanical signals with high sensitivity and spatial resolution is needed for a wide range of ...

Optical sensors from Micro-Epsilon are being used to detect precise hole depths in turned metal components, offering a ...

Ocean-borne phytoplankton collectively absorb almost as much carbon dioxide as all the trees and land plants on Earth. Besides giving seawater a greenish tinge, the plankton have a significant impact ...
