Pressure sensing module converts into light
A new sensor device uses thousands of nanowires to convert mechanical pressure into light signals that can be captured and processed optically. Applications for the sensor could include biological imaging and microelectro-mechanical systems. The transformation of mechanical force into electrical output involves sophisticated principles that have. A pressure sensor measures the mechanical force exerted by a gas or liquid and translates that physical quantity into a standardized electrical signal. This signal, typically a voltage or current, allows electronic systems to monitor and manage processes where pressure is a variable.
