Designers of composites are learning that if they are to be able to guarantee component and system performance, repeatability and reliability, it is critical that they have access to more sensor and ...

Neoptix Fiber Optic Sensors, Inc. has introduced its new “Tx” model fiber optic temperature probe that allows monitoring of temperature through the wall of an enclosure or a tank. The Tx optical ...

A fiber-optic distributed temperature system (DTS) across a horizontal wellbore off Trinidad provided valuable information and benefits such as identifying areas of oil and gas production along the ...

For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. For the first time, researchers ...

Optical sensors may be uniquely suited for use in robotic hands, according to Carnegie Mellon University researchers who have developed a three-fingered soft robotic hand with multiple embedded fiber ...
