At this scale, information from individual atoms instead of from huge collections of atoms allows quantum sensors to make exponentially more accurate, more thorough, more efficient and more productive measurements. Using the […]

Intensive work has been and continues to be done in this area. For example, researchers have reported their progress on an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based motor imagery BCI to control the movement of a prosthetic hand. The hand was instrumented with force and angle […]

]]> How can sensors protect vulnerable areas? Pt 4 https://www.designworldonline.com/how-can-sensors-protect-vulnerable-areas-pt-4/ Wed, 26 Apr 2023 20:15:56 +0000 https://www.designworldonline.com/?p=588613 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ongoing efforts to address the unintended contamination and purposeful contamination of the nation’s water supplies. Sensing technologies are an integral part of the strategy. In 2023, the EPA proposed new limits to drinking water contamination from toxic “forever chemicals” or per fluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Used widely […]
