You might think traffic light systems are fairly basic. After all, electric traffic signals first appeared all the way back in 1914. However, they have advanced significantly since their inception, ...

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

If you build engines, tune cars, or even just like mashing your foot on the throttle with conviction, you’ve probably heard the term “wideband O2 sensor” being thrown around at the track, dyno ...

Thermopile sensors offer a reliable way to measure temperature without physical contact, making them ideal for real-world applications where speed, safety, and precision matter. Whether you are ...

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device that is installed in a vehicle's tires to monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. The primary function of the TPMS sensor is ...

Curious about how cadence sensors work and how to use them effectively? This hands-on guide breaks down the basics of cadence sensing—from the core principles behind pedal rotation tracking to ...

How sensors are driving predictive maintenance. How maintenance is traditionally performed and the importance of moving to a data-driven approach. An overview of how sensors are the eyes and ears of ...

Process sensor technology—the mainstay instrumentation that monitors temperature, pressure and flow levels—has remained fairly steady over the years against a backdrop of accelerating digital ...

The Sensor Immersion unit introduces middle school STEM and science students to computing and AI concepts and practices needed to use sensors as a tool for scientific inquiry and engineering design.

The smartest sensor was right under your nose.

With the cost of sensors ranging from $15 to $1,000, carmakers are beginning to question how many sensors are needed for vehicles to be fully autonomous at least part of the time. Those sensors are ...
