GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: STMicroelectronics announced that the just-launched Brain Sentry Impact Sensor, a lightweight helmet-mounted impact-monitoring device, uses ST's MEMS accelerometer to monitor head ...
How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...
On the smallest scales, our universe gets weird. Particles act like billiard balls or waves on water, depending how you probe them. Properties can't be measured simultaneously or tend to smear ...
