Sensor Technologies

We are all familiar with acoustic sensors, especially microphones. While using touch-sensitive devices, we tend to forget that this is actually made possible by sensors. Our cars are full of sensors for regulating the running of the motor, speed, fuel consumption, temperature and ventilation. Physical and chemical sensors enable identifying air quality and especially dangerous gases, the “electronic nose” warns us about different odours, and the smoke detector about the potential fire hazard. All sorts of sensors help us avoid dangerous radiation. Electrical sensors enable measuring the electric current and potential, while magnetic sensors help us detect hidden metals. Environmental sensors are essential for monitoring pollution and we can also use them to detect humidity. We use sensors to measure flows, especially of water, gas, and also solids, as well as shifts and tremors. We determine positions, angles, distances, speed, acceleration, and shock. With sensors we can also identify colours, we use them as photodetectors, and to track waves. A whole range of sensors helps regulate pressure, even the extremely precise level of blood pressure during operation. Currently biosensors are widely used, among them nanosensors which promise significant progress, especially in relation to healthcare.
