SENSORIZATION: TECHNOLOGY FOR BETTER AND SMARTER LIVING

Designing, Building, and Using Sensors

MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress—MSTC 2022 is the premier technical event on designing, building, and using sensors.

When Google unveiled its first autonomous cars in 2010, the spinning cylinder mounted on the roofs really stood out. It was the vehicle’s light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system, which worked like light-based radar. Together with cameras and radar, LiDAR mapped the environment to help these cars avoid obstacles and drive safely.

Engineers at UC Berkeley have developed a new technique for making wearable sensors that enables medical researchers to prototype test new designs much faster and at a far lower cost than existing methods.

New! BSAC’s spring seminar series will include weekly research briefs presented by BSAC researchers, a group discussion, and lunch. The goal of each 35-minute seminar is to create an opportunity for our researchers to discuss projects and network across groups.

Seminars are open to registered BSAC researchers and co-directors, only. Look for the weekly seminar announcement emails and RSVP early to reserve your lunch.

Watching television in the shower might not rank terribly high on the scale of today’s available personal-tech indulgences. But imagine if the TV — or other small electronic device — was powered by water vapor billowing up from the marble floor tiles.

Stress and strain, applied in just the right manner, can sometimes produce amazing results.

That is what researchers, led by a team at UC Berkeley’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, discovered about an emerging semiconductor material — black phosphorus (BP) — used to make two types of optoelectronic devices: light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors.
