(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.

One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...

Among the many methods available for air flow detection, self-heated thermal flow sensors are simple, cheap, rugged, and sensitive. They rely on the relationship between airspeed (AF) and thermal ...

Additionally, since the amp transistor size can be increased with this tech, noise during dark scenarios is also reduced. Last but not least, Sony states that its stacked CMOS image sensor technology ...

Experience low power, high security, and reliable performance with PolarFire® Core & SoC FPGAs. A maker recently demonstrated how to build a fully functional self timing electric motor using only ...

An 880-nm AlGaAs infrared emitter (IRED) and a NPN open-collector photo device (photo-IC) are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 header to make up the CL1700 Reflective Object Sensor. The IRED ...

Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST; Thuwal, Saudi Arabia) have created a prototype sensor that measures glucose levels in saliva, which could offer a ...
