Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical switches. Sensor selection for these ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using ...

(Nanowerk News) Instead of a pan and a pick ax, prospectors of the future might seek gold with a hand-held biosensor that uses a component of DNA to detect traces of the element in water. The gold ...

When the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored Omar Yaghi—the "father of metal-organic frameworks," or MOFs—along with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson, it celebrated more than the creation of a new ...

Learn how laser, eddy and other displacement sensors work and how they plug into IIoT PdM systems. They’re game changers on ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

The ILT radar sensor free-beam sensor enables non-contact level measurement — even through the walls of plastic containers.

With their high chemical and thermal resistance, metal cushions are a sensible alternative to elastomer components. The elasticity and damping of the wire mesh is based on the interaction of ...
