Spiders can detect sound and movement using slits in their legs, and scientists devised a new sensor that works in a similar way.

Once the sensors are mounted inside the rotor blades, they can absorb the sound waves that travel throughout them, according to the researchers. The chip monitors "surface waves," which are sound ...

Harman said the sensor could be "invisibly" integrated with a vehicle's exterior, but did not announce any automaker partners ready to use the tech. External sound detection was designed to ...

Scientists from renowned institutions in Germany have developed a microelectromechanical sensor inspired by the cochlea, a bone in the inner ear, which has the potential to revolutionize sound ...

Under its Advanced Speech Encoding project, DARPA hopes the answer may lie in refinement of so-called "non-acoustic sensors," experimental devices that can pick up a person's voice without a ...

Global printing, communication, security, electronics and packaging firm Toppan has released its e-Platch wireless sensing solution with expanded functionality to include sound detection. By ...

[Fileark] reports that the sound detector works well when the source is within about a foot of the sensors, but performance deteriorates at greater distances.
