When the tire pressure light in your car comes on, you need to inflate your tires. Here's what to do if it stays on even ...

Discovery of genetic glitches in gene formatting (RNU4-2 mutations) discloses a new cause for blindness, solving retinal ...

Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

In industrial automation, sensors are not just accessories, they are critical components that directly affect machine performance, operator safety and production efficiency. A poorly selected sensor ...

A global team of experts from academia and industry has joined forces in a landmark 'Consensus Statement' on next-generation photodetectors based on emerging light-responsive materials, which could ...

Presence/motion sensors are one of the best ways to make automations feel more natural, but most of them run on batteries and eventually have to be swapped. That’s one of the main reasons I really ...

Scientists have developed a fully transparent skin sensor that accurately measures UV radiation, detecting light and converting it to electrical signals. So when the Sun's rays reach damaging levels, ...

Plants need sunlight like we need food. But too much of it? That can fry their systems. Harsh rays don’t just overheat them – they can damage cells, disrupt growth, and throw off the entire rhythm of ...

Interiors are going live. Sensor-based data is moving from R&D labs to real-world interiors, reprogramming spatial design to become adaptive, performative and surveillant.

Members can download this article in PDF format. Light sensors detect the presence or absence of light, and the intensity of that light. These sensors then convert light energy into an electrical ...
