A new sensor design integrated into a blue headband was used to wirelessly control a robot using only brain waves. (Adapted from ACS Applied Nano Materials) Physicians monitor electrical signals from ...

Earlier this year we heard about the ear-EEG, a special earbud that reads electrical activity in the brain. Well, scientists have now developed add-on sensors that allow regular earbuds to do so, and ...

The Times tested the blast waves of several popular civilian guns at an indoor range and found that repeated firing could add ...

You slip the wireless headset on. It looks like something a telemarketer would wear, except the earpieces are actually sensors, and what looks like a microphone is a brain wave detector. You place its ...

A new kind of bioluminescent sensor causes individual brain cells to imitate fireflies and glow in the dark. The probe, which was developed by a team of Vanderbilt scientists, is a genetically ...

This prototype millimeter-wave radar sensor developed at UC Davis is capable of measuring extremely small vibrations and movements while being energy-efficient and cheap to produce. (Omeed Momeni/UC ...

CHICAGO — It was accidental science. A study documented an 87-year-old’s brain activity at the exact moment of his passing. The serendipitous finding opened one doctor’s mind to what’s possible when ...
