Advanced Sensor Technologies
Sensors are relevant to every aspect of human life and they can improve the world through diagnostics in medical applications; improved performance of energy sources like fuel cells and batteries and solar power; improved health and safety and security for people; sensors for exploring space; and improved environmental monitoring. Conventional sensors such as potentiometers and force-sensing resistors are widely used but technological progress and the use of micromachining is allowing the manufacturers to increase number of sensors but also to achieve significantly higher speeds and sensitivity. Advanced Sensor Technologies are referred to the development and use of sensors that are more sophisticated and precise in their measurements compared to traditional sensors. Advanced sensor technologies are designed to provide more accurate and reliable data, faster response times, and greater sensitivity to changes in the environment or system being monitored. Advanced sensor technologies are...
