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 ...

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 ...

FOP-MIV pressure sensors from Fiso Technologies Inc. are ultrasmall in order to fit within the tight physical diameters of a catheter. Fiber-optic units from Fiso Technologies Inc. can be integrated ...

WASHINGTON -- For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. The bioresorbable ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...
