Perovskite, a material already gaining traction in outdoor solar panels, can be tuned to absorb the specific wavelengths of ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of wearable sensor that can detect signs of eye disease—without drawing blood or using ...

Smart home automation is the ultimate life hack, in my humble opinion. Whether for efficiency, accessibility, nerding out, or just plain laziness, all you need are smart home devices and a little ...

The types of sensors mentioned here are indicative of typical fitness tracker sensors. This is not a complete list and other types of sensors may be used in wearable fitness trackers.

To enable the development of wearable devices that possess advanced ultraviolet (UV) detection functions, scientists have created a new type of light sensor that is both flexible and highly sensitive.

Ambient light sensors can reveal your device activity. How big a threat is it? For now, there's no reason for concern, but that could change in coming years.

Have you ever noticed those small cameras that sit on top of traffic lights? Here's what they are for and why you should ...

In a massive study of 85,000 people, scientists at Flinders University have found that night-time exposure to light increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, independent of daytime activities.

SAN FRANCISCO – Orbital Sidekick hyperspectral sensors revealed new information on damage sustained by Iran’s Fordow nuclear fuel enrichment plant after U.S. armed forces bombed the site in June.

What are the most common types of light sensors? Two of the most common light sensors are phototransistors and positive-intrinsic-negative (pin) photodiodes. Both generate signals that vary with ...

By measuring the loss of light, the researchers are able to calculate strain or other deformations. Park said this type of flexible optical sensor could be incorporated into soft skins.
