Neural probe arrays are expected to significantly benefit the lives of amputees and people affected by spinal cord injuries or severe neuromotor diseases. By providing a direct route of communication ...

As silicon photonics costs come down, the technology is being worked into new applications, from connectivity to AI. But full commercial production requires testing those photonic circuits before ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...

The application fields for spectroscopy are growing rapidly. Fiber optical probes allow for a flexible interface between the spectrometer and the sample to be examined. They even reach small spaces or ...

Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

A conceptual lunar fiber seismic network (Background lunar surface image from NASA). The base station provides space and power for the DAS interrogator, data processing unit and telecommunicating ...

NIST engineers measure the diameter of tiny holes by imaging the shadow of a microsphere tipped fiber. US technology and standards agency NIST thinks its fiber deflection probe could be ideal for ...
