October 24, 2012
Qiang Lin, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, and assistant professor of optics, collaborated with researchers from the California Institute of Technology in developing a microscale, ultrasensitive accelerometer—a type of motion detector—that uses laser light instead of an electrical circuit to gauge movements. What might be a possible application of this? Imagine navigating through a grocery store with your cell phone. As you turn down the bread aisle, ads and coupons for hot dog buns and English muffins pop up on your screen. The electronics industry would like to make such personal navigators a reality, but, to do so, they need the next generation of microsensors. Read more …
