More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break it down.

CCD technology was the driving force behind early digital photography, and its popularity persisted until the late 2000s. Advances in photographic sensors and display technology led to the rise of ...

For example, advances in artificial intelligence, networking and software are allowing sensor companies to create new use cases for “older” technologies.

Users should ideally have the sensors they need available as soon as needed. However, custom sensor technology in healthcare requires time to design, conceptualize, and manufacture at scale. Below ...

Apple is investigating new image sensor technology that promises up to 20 stops of dynamic range. Here’s what that actually means.

A major challenge in self-powered wearable sensors for health care monitoring is distinguishing different signals when they occur at the same time.

The sensor technology used in the touchpad enables, for example, that if cancer tumours are found during an MRI scan, a pneumatic robot can take a biopsy while the patient is being scanned.

Advances in photographic sensors and display technology led to the rise of the flatscreen TV and the smartphone, leaving CCD cameras firmly in the past.
