A configuration that shows great promise in sensing applications is vertically aligned piezoelectric nanowire arrays that allow facile interfacing with electrical interconnects. Nano-electromechanical ...
How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...
Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...
An optomechanical accelerometer that uses light to measure acceleration. Credit: F Zhou/NIST An accelerometer that uses laser light instead of just mechanical strain can register changes as small as ...
The sensors in your smart device are a big part of what make it, well, smart. Sensors allow our devices to understand context— they tell phones where they are in space and how we’re using them. This ...
