To enable the development of wearable devices that possess advanced ultraviolet (UV) detection functions, scientists have created a new type of light sensor that is both flexible and highly sensitive.

Smart home automation is the ultimate life hack, in my humble opinion. Whether for efficiency, accessibility, nerding out, or just plain laziness, all you need are smart home devices and a little ...

Ambient light sensors (ALSs) are photodetectors that approximate the human eye’s response to light intensity under a variety of lighting conditions and through different attenuation materials. They’re ...

What are the most common types of light sensors? Two of the most common light sensors are phototransistors and positive-intrinsic-negative (pin) photodiodes. Both generate signals that vary with ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

Smartphone cameras have improved dramatically since the first camera-equipped cell phone was introduced in 1999, but they are still subject to tiny errors in the alignment of different wavelengths of ...

The following is a transcript of this video. Kerri Jansen: When it comes to many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, like depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s disease, doctors rely ...
