Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

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

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now resulted in 3D-printed optical hydrogen ...

Cameras may soon see without lenses, and the change could be as profound as the leap from film to digital. A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240005, discusses advances in optical micronanofiber enabled tactile sensors and soft actuators. As a perfect combination of ...

Fig. 1 Overview of the OFN sensor. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFN sensing system; (B) Photographs of the output light when the sensor was untouched, (C) subjected to normal force, and (D) subjected ...

A few days ago, we looked into how Apple could one day use brain wave sensors in AirPods to measure sleep quality and even detect seizures. Now, a new paper shows how the company is exploring deeper ...

A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...
