Also known as inertial sensors, accelerometers are critical elements in key applications such as automotive air-bag deployment, smartphone motion tracking, and industrial predictive maintenance. These ...

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 ...

The BMA530 and BMA580 from Bosch Sensortec leverage cutting-edge sensor technology that enhance the capabilities of hearables. They include features such as gesture and context recognition, speech ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...
