On the technology spectrum, railroads would certainly seem to skew toward the brutally simplistic side of things. A couple of strips of steel, some wooden ties and gravel ballast to keep everything in ...

BNSF Railway will dramatically increase its track inspection capabilities early next year with the systemwide deployment of ...

Diamonds with certain optically active defects can be used as highly sensitive sensors or qubits for quantum computers, where the quantum information is stored in the electron spin state of these ...

The demand for smartphone cameras, video conferencing, surveillance and autonomous driving has fueled explosive growth of CMOS image sensor (CIS) manufacturing in the last decade. While CIS becomes an ...

Using in-road sensors, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles was able to identify and remove 13,000 unsafe tires from commercial vehicles traveling on Interstate 81 in one year. The sensor ...

One of the most common defects in image sensor devices is spatial blotches. The appearance of blotches in image sensors is a regular occurrence and may be generated by internal moving parts or may be ...

Levitating sensors are moving from science-fiction imagery to practical laboratory tools, promising a new generation of instruments that can feel forces so faint they border on the gravitational pull ...

Researchers have now developed a novel sensor that enables the continuous, and real-time detection of solid-state epidermal biomarkers, a new category of health indicators. The team's wearable, ...
