Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Flexible strain sensors are an important constituent in soft robotics, health care devices, and in the defence industry. Strain sensors are characterized by their sensitivity (gauge factor-GF) and ...

In this work, we report on a twin-core fiber sensor system that provides improved spectral efficiency, allows for multiplexing and gives low level of crosstalk. Pieces of the referred strongly coupled ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The burgeoning demands for health care and human-machine interfaces call for the next generation of multifunctional and flexible integrated sensor systems. Principally, flexible ...

LSG is produced by laser irradiation of carbon precursors like graphene oxide or polyimide films. This direct writing approach enables rapid, localized graphene patterning without masks or chemicals.

A project at Brazil's Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) has manufactured sensors for potential use in medical and industrial applications by laser writing onto fallen leaves. Published in ACS ...
