ZMDI has expanded itsfamily of capacitive-sensorsignal-conditioningdevices with the wide-dynamic-rangeZSSC3123 IC. The chipdelivers 14-bit resolution and0.25% accuracy over a rangeof sensor ...

There are generally two types of accelerometers currently available—capacitor-based and thermal versions—and both are microelectromechanical devices (MEMS). So what’s the difference between the two?

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

If you do any kind of machining, 3D printing, or PCB layout, you probably have at least considered buying a pair of calipers. Old-fashioned ones had a dial and were mechanical devices, but lately, ...

In a way, the magic of a soil moisture sensor’s functionality boils down to a simple RC circuit. But of course, in practice there is a bit more to it than that. [rbaron] explains exactly how ...

Bio-inspired design for photosensitive perovskite-based capacitors could enable light sensors that respond only to movement. (Courtesy: Pixabay) A new type of sensor that closely mimics how the human ...
