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 ...

Imec and its partners in the Belgian project Q-COMIRSE presented a first-of-its-kind prototype shortwave infrared (SWIR) image sensor with indium arsenide quantum dot photodiodes at the 2024 IEEE ...

Scientists have invented a paper-like, battery-free, AI-enabled sensor patch -- PETAL -- for convenient and effective monitoring of wound recovery. This novel technology provides early warning of ...

Activated by a foot motion within a range of 60 centimetres, the sensor analyses the direction and speed of the movement. Credit: Schaeffler AG. German manufacturer of machine and car parts, ...

One of the metrics needed to monitor the success of blood-vessel surgery is blood flow and pressure through the repaired vessel, but measuring that parameter brings many obvious challenges. A team of ...

(Nanowerk News) Wearable devices and smart sensors are transforming how we monitor health and activity, from tracking heartbeats to detecting body movements. However, traditional tools like ...

Timely and effective monitoring of wound healing status is critical to wound care and management. Impaired wound healing, such as chronic wounds (i.e. those that do not heal after 3 months) and ...
