Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures brain activity optically based on changes in cortical blood flow.

Researchers from University of Delaware are transforming how oceanographers (scientists who study the earth's oceans) track marine conditions by deploying specialised electronic tags that turn living ...

University of Queensland researchers have developed non-invasive sensors to measure muscle forces, an advance that could improve the performance of wearable robotic mobility devices. Ultra-wideband ...

A developer and Frisbee fan turned AirPods into a flying-disc stat tracker, using motion sensors to measure throws in a clever demonstration of what Apple's earbuds can do beyond playing audio.

A five-year NSF-funded project aims to uncover hidden magnetic activity that could lead to advances in wearable devices, brain imaging and other technologies Magnets are used in everything from cars ...

Ben Pierce has a formidable neighbor less than a quarter mile from his home: the Massachusetts Turnpike. Pierce lives on a short dead-end street in Brighton with his wife, three children and a ...

The Trump administration’s decision to dismantle most of a $386 million federal ocean-observing network will leave scientists without an irreplaceable source of data used to understand how climate ...

Humans are animals that measure things. Call us Homo mensura. We have a compulsion to quantify, and for millennia we’ve been inventing new ways to go about it. For anything you can think of, there’s a ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using classical sensors alone. Such quantum sensors are currently being used to study ...

Skoltech scientists, in collaboration with colleagues from China and Iran, have taken a major step toward creating highly precise carbon nanotube fiber (CNTF)-based sensors. In a paper published in ...
