A design of microstructured optical fibre (MOF) that features a slot running along its length to expose its core could potentially provide a convenient answer to real-time sensing of chemicals and ...

A new lens-free imaging system uses software to see finer details from farther away than optical systems ever could before.

Wanting to experiment with using optical mouse sensors but a bit frustrated with the lack of options, [Tom Wiggins] rolled his own breakout board for the ADNS 3050 optical mouse sensor and in the ...

Researchers have developed the first fully-integrated, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor enabled by specially engineered synthetic materials known as metamaterials. The sensor has no moving ...
