The brilliant metallic blue wings of Morpho butterflies dazzle the eye. Branched nanostructures on the wings scatter light in complex ways to produce this characteristic iridescent hue. By harnessing ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

Researchers have developed a battery-free sensor that reacts to sound waves, such as particular spoken words, producing enough vibrational energy to power an electronic device. The novel sensor would ...

Although the ability tends to wane as we get older, the human auditory system is pretty good at filtering out background noise and making a single voice able to be understood above the general hubbub ...

IMI is expanding its NEON sensor range with a combined sound and temperature sensor for the acoustic wireless monitoring of ...

Physicists in France have developed a new form of "touch-screen" technology that relies on detecting the sound waves that are produced when a solid object is tapped by a finger (Appl. Phys. Lett. 87 ...
