There's no turning back now
When Breakthrough magazine spoke to Zona’s CEO, John Hale, he was in the midst of a whirlwind of media attention around his innovative product, designed to save motorcyclists lives. News of his product had been published in the previous week’s New Scientist, and it was also featured in the high profile motorcycling publication, Motorcycle News. So it was evident there was a lot of interest in what John was doing. But it was far from a...
Sensors & Instrumentation 2017 ends on a high

Proximity sensors reduce maintenance costs and increase flight hours
Distributor and stockist of electrical and electronic components, Aerco is now stocking Honeywell’s IHM series aerospace proximity sensors, which the company claims to be the industry-leading indirect lightning and dielectric ruggedness, plus enhanced vibration and EMI specifications to meet challenging applications found in today’s composite aircraft.
AI can detect those who text and drive
In newer vehicles, automated safety features make getting behind the wheel safer than ever. Some cars now provide an alert when the vehicle drifts out of its lane or if another car is driving up in a blind spot. The services do a good job of making drivers more aware of their surroundings and forcing them to pay more attention. But they are not perfect. Author: Justin Tejada, The Connected Car
Biodegradable microsensors aid food monitoring
A new generation of microsensors could provide the vital link between food products and the Internet of Things. ETH researchers have developed an ultra-thin temperature sensor that is both biocompatible and biodegradable. Nowadays microsensors are already used in many different applications, such as the detection of poisonous gases. They are also integrated into miniaturised transmitter/receiver systems, such as the ubiquitous RFID chips.
