Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have discovered a new way to generate ultra-precise, evenly spaced "combs" of laser light on a ...

Dive in to know how researchers developed a germanium-implanted photodiode that detects on-chip light signals with minimal loss, noise and power consumption. Prof. Andrew POON (left), Head and ...

"Learn how to set up and analyze an RC circuit using the PhET Simulator! In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of building a simple resistor-capacitor circuit, explaining ...

Presence/motion sensors are one of the best ways to make automations feel more natural, but most of them run on batteries and eventually have to be swapped. That’s one of the main reasons I really ...

Scientists have developed a fully transparent skin sensor that accurately measures UV radiation, detecting light and converting it to electrical signals. So when the Sun's rays reach damaging levels, ...

Redefining the repeating pattern in photonic crystals creates tightly confined pathways for light while preserving symmetry, offering a simple route to ultracompact and low loss light circuits.

Abstract: A novel oil sensor designed to address the issue of oil monitoring accuracy influenced by the oil medium and temperature utilizes electrostatic induction coupled with a fringing electric ...

The Federal Circuit upheld an administrative tribunal’s decision to nix six claims from a DexCom Inc. patent covering implantable sensors used to monitor patients’ blood glucose levels. DexCom sued ...
