Researchers have created a plasmon laser detector that can sniff out tiny traces of airborne molecules of explosives. The sensor detected both DNT and ammonium nitrate at concentrations below one part ...

The Redscan RLS-2020 series from Optex is a next generation short range laser scan detector that provides accurate motion detection for indoor and outdoor security applications. It expands the current ...

Infrared laser beams are absorbed differently by different molecules and so are well-suited for analyzing liquids and gases. This effect can for example be used to measure the oxygen concentration in ...

Research scientist and entrepreneur Sverre Dokken believes laser-based remote sensing has big potential in the maritime domain. But what is LADAR, who’s it for and what are the key benefits? “Our ...

A future Apple Watch or iPhone may warn users about poisonous gas or pollen in the local environment, with Apple coming up with ways to reliably sense the air using a combination of lasers and other ...

Panasonic has a laser distance sensor HG-F, that can detect at distances of up to 3m using ToF technology. This means that the sensor can also be installed at some distance from the object to be ...

Earthquake damaged buildings, bridges and other critical infrastructure may be evaluated more quickly for safety and response options following an event with new optical sensor technology and software ...

Protect workers and equipment at oil and gas plants. Gas detection systems are meant to protect workers in oil and gas plants by warning them if there is a toxic or combustible gas leak. Smart sensors ...

Dyson V12 Detect Slim was launched in India on Monday. This is Dyson’s first laser technology based cordless vacuum cleaner that is said to be capable of detecting particles as small as 10 microns.

New technology under development at UC Berkeley could soon give bomb-sniffing dogs some serious competition. A team of researchers led by Xiang Zhang, UC Berkeley professor of mechanical engineering, ...
