Every time a smartphone snaps a photo, millions of tiny light detectors capture the scene and then ferry all that raw data across the chip to a separate processor for storage and number-crunching.

A research team has addressed the long-standing challenge of creating artificial olfactory sensors with arrays of diverse high-performance gas sensors. Their newly developed biomimetic olfactory chips ...

The success of molecular medicine and biotechnology rests on the ability to measure molecular interactions in a variety of samples with speed, sensitivity, and accuracy. In an article published in the ...

Aimed at portable applications such as cell phones and laptops, the EL7900 ambient light sensor uses a photodiode and current amplifier to produce a linear output current that can be converted into a ...

Sound technology: the optomechanical ultrasound sensor array chip with optical fibre block array access. (Courtesy: IMEC) A highly sensitive optomechanical ultrasound detector integrated onto a ...

Engineers built a new artificial intelligence chip, with a view toward sustainable, modular electronics. The chip can be reconfigured, with layers that can be swapped out or stacked on, such as to add ...

Eliminating the need for a separate magnetic lid sensor, the CM36262 integrates a patent-pending optical lid sensor with an ambient-light sensor (ALS) and proximity sensor, thus simplifying the design ...

Imec and Holst Centre have developed what they are calling very sensitive integrated elements for gas detection. The polymer-coated microbridges, arranged in high-density arrays, can detect ppm-level ...

UC San Diego electrical engineers have developed the world’s most complex “phased array” – or radio frequency integrated circuit. This DARPA-funded advance is expected to find its way into U.S.
