Sensor is a kind of detection device, which is widely used in industrial production, environmental protection, biological medicine, resource exploration and other fields, and plays an irreplaceable role in promoting economic development and social progress. At the beginning of 2017, came the various sensor breakthrough messages, including real-time detection of new biological sensors, intelligent mobile phone equipped with small molecular spectrum sensor and Finland successfully developed the world's first mobile hyperspectral sensor network news, this special collection of five recent sensor development breakthrough, so that we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the latest technology.
Breakthrough 1: Finland successfully developed the world's first hyperspectral mobile sensor
Finland VTT technology research center by the iPhone camera into a new optical sensor, successfully developed the world's first high spectrum mobile devices, which will bring new prospects for consumer applications with low cost and high spectral imaging, for example, consumers will be able to use mobile phones for food quality testing or health monitoring.
Spectral imaging is widely used in various object sensing and material property analysis. Hyperspectral imaging can be used for spectral analysis of each pixel in the image, and wide range measurement can be achieved. Hyperspectral cameras have been used in medical, industrial, space and environmental sensing under severe environmental conditions, but they are expensive. Hyperspectral mobile VTT development, through the adjustable micro MEMS (micro electromechanical system) camera lens filter and iPhone integration, and to adjust the image function and camera capture system synchronization, combining intelligent sensors and Internet appliances, makes cost-effective optical spectroscopy MEMS mobile application development has become the new may, such as the use of vehicles and drones for environment monitoring, health monitoring and analysis of food and other consumer applications.
Breakthrough two: the world's first equipped with miniaturized molecular spectrum sensor smart phone release
Recently, Changhong released the world's first mobile phone - Changhong H2 molecular recognition, this is the first equipped with small molecular spectrum sensor intelligent mobile phone world, can realize the fruit sugar, water, medicines, skin age, liquor quality detection, a personalized health management integrated portable terminal.
It is understood that Changhong will be laboratory level spectrometer capabilities and accuracy integrated into the people can carry and use of mobile phones, effectively improve the quality of daily life of users. For example, in the detection of food safety is also of great help, H2 mobile phone instructions issued "data acquisition near infrared absorption spectrum of the object to be measured to the miniaturization of high resolution near infrared spectroscopy are equipped with sensors, and will carry out the analysis, spectral data is transmitted to the cloud computing platform, processing, the qualitative and quantitative analysis mobile phone, will present data and graphical results to the user, and the user is given the corresponding suggestions and recommendations, H2 mobile phone can be directly to the molecular recognition properties of substances. This will be able to identify food safety performance, play a role in ensuring safety.
Breakthrough three: nano sensors import atomic level drugs into cells
Nano sensor operation has attracted people's attention, and it can accomplish various observation, characterization and manipulation operations of traditional robots in very small scale, which can be called "meticulous"". By changing nanotechnology, atomic level drugs can be imported into cells to observe the effect of these drugs on cells.
Nano manipulator has position detection sensor, can realize automatic programmable motion, and has a variety of powerful additional modules. Compared with the traditional robot, the nano manipulator has the characteristics of super sensitive, ultra high precision, and so on. It can accomplish the various observation, characterization and manipulation of the traditional robot in very small scale, which can be called "meticulous"".
Breakthrough four: new optical biosensors can identify infectious diseases in seconds
Recently, Russian scientists have developed a new laser technology to create novel optical biosensors that can identify infectious diseases within a few seconds. The device displays harmful bacteria and viruses through infrared light, and can be widely used in large transportation hubs, such as airports, which need to continuously monitor a large number of passenger flow.
This rapid analysis may be widely used in large transport hubs, such as airports, which require continuous monitoring of the health of passengers. At present, this is achieved by tracking body temperature with a thermal imaging camera. A passenger with a fever may be a potential source of infection. In this case, a clear analysis is necessary to identify whether the person is actually sick or something else. Using existing methods to investigate biological materials, such as polymerase chain reaction, takes several days. On the contrary, this new technology can immediately provide results of detection.
Breakthrough five: the world's first wafer level sensor chip or off the spectrum application revolution
In January 17, 2017, a leading high performance sensor solutions and analog IC suppliers amass semiconductor company (amsAG) announced the launch of the world's first high performance multi-channel spectrum on chip sensor solutions for consumer and industrial applications to achieve a new generation of spectrum analyzer to open a path.
The multi spectral sensor uses the new manufacturing technology to make the nano optical interference filter attached to the CMOS silicon wafer accurately and accurately. The interference filter technology used in the sensor has high accuracy and stability, and is not affected by the use time and temperature, such as today is often used for various types
