Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

Sensor developer AMS, the coordinator of the Highly Integrated Optical Sensors (HIOS) research consortium has announced the successful completion of this novel optical senosr R&D project. The HIOS ...

Chemists have developed a molecular system capable of very precise optical pressure measurements. The gemstone ruby served as the source of inspiration. Chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz ...

The FOP-F125 pressure sensor is the result of close collaboration with LEOSS, a Slovenian research group from the University of Maribor who has been working with FISO for the last three years. This ...

Researchers developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that can measure small pressure changes. Adding a side hole that runs parallel to the fiber core enhanced the pressure ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability. When a patient attends an A&E or neurocritical care unit with a head injury, one of the most important parameters to assess injury ...

If the sensing application involveshigh temperatures or a very tight, almost inaccessible location, fiberoptic sensors could provide the answer. These sensors provide small,lightweight units that can ...
