Spending more typically gets you more power and convenience features, such as a sensor that shuts off the oven when your food is ready to eat. But according to Consumer Reports’ microwave oven ...

Nanoscale luminescent force sensors excel at measuring piconewton forces, while larger sensors have proven powerful in probing micronewton forces. However, large gaps remain in the force ...

Two studies show that the light emitted by nanocrystals embedded with luminescent ions can be used to sense forces with high spatial resolution — even when those forces are inside a microscopic ...
