Sensitive Flow Sensor: Hair Sensor Uncovers Hidden Signals
2013-06-14 08:20:25| rfglobalnet News Articles
An "artificial cricket hair" used as a sensitive flow sensor has difficulty detecting weak, low-frequency signals -- they tend to be drowned out by noise. But now, a bit of clever tinkering with the flexibility of the tiny hair's supports has made it possible to boost the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of 25. This in turn means that weak flows can now be measured.
