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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position of their rotating targets by generating a series of pulses. Tachometer generators and many other conventional rotation monitors ...

As part of the energy transition, hydrogen as an energy carrier is gaining importance, ideally produced via electrolysis ...
