Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Bits and Atoms have built a cheaper, simpler motion sensor made of a tiny metal bead suspended by a fluctuating electric field.

For the first time, a team of US researchers has used sensors containing highly excited Rydberg atoms to detect signals from ...

Electric field measurement has become a critical component in modern engineering and scientific applications. As power systems evolve towards smart grids and the energy internet, the need for ...

Ishikawa, Japan - The ability to sense the magnitude and polarity of the electric field is of great scientific interest. It has various real-life applications, such as early prediction of lightning ...

Atoms in a glass vapor cell are excited with laser beams to Rydberg states. They detect the electric fields (coming from the gold antenna in the background) and imprint the information back onto the ...

A flexible electronic skin inspired by shark electroreception lets robotic hands identify object shapes and materials through both non-contact electrostatic scanning and touch-based sensing.

Using a scanning tunneling microscope equipped with a femtosecond terahertz laser, scientists have exploited the quantum properties of a two-atom hydrogen molecule to observe changes in the ...

Army researchers produced a quantum sensor that can detect the complete radio spectrum—and pick up Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AM and FM radio and other communication signals on frequencies up to 20GHz. The ...
