Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a tiny new sensor that can be carried around on a small drone or even the back of an insect – and then dropped on demand to track the ...

Over its 10 years of working on automated driving systems, Waymo has kept important details of its technology notoriously secret. While that’s a perfectly reasonable stance to take when developing ...

The GV series of digital CMOS laser sensors from Keyence uses a newly developed datum algorithm that enhances detection reliability and eliminates the common problems encountered when using ...

Coherent Corp. has announced the expansion of its PowerMax sensor portfolio with the introduction of the PM15K+ high-power laser sensor and a backscatter shield for the PM10K+. The PM15K+ can measure ...

Researchers are developing nanoscale sensors to detect chemical and biological agents. Embedded on a silicon microchip, this prototype carbon nanotube sensor (inset) can be set to detect specific ...

Hoping to save the paper manufacturing industry millions of dollars in energy costs, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory engineers have developed a laser ultrasonic sensor that measures paper's ...

Customers kept telling the engineers at Banner Engineering that they needed to sense objects at greater distances than the inches to feet possible with existing photoelectric and laser sensors; for ...

Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

The LT-9000 laser confocal displacement meter performs 0.01-micron thickness, profile, and angle measurements on transparent objects using a single sensor head, even when target surfaces are wet, ...
