The ultrasensitive ASTRE accelerometer tested in 1996 during a flight of the American Columbia Space Shuttle was designed and developed for monitoring this environment. |
Within two years, a first device will compete with the current state-of-the-art ultrasensitive detection technology, the Channel PhotoMultiplier, while also providing quantitative results. |
Finally, the light is focused onto the retina, a variable-resolution sensor with 3 color channels plus an ultrasensitive black and white channel. |
The latter were only too happy to oblige not least because physicists' deeper pockets mean access to equipment beyond the means of most biology departments, like ultrasensitive deep-sea microphones, or hydrophones. |
The team has developed an ultrasensitive neural network that can pick up multiple nerve signals sent to muscles near the stump of an amputated arm. |
These may be light-emitting layers in semiconductor lasers, or ultrasensitive magnetic films in the heads of magnetic-disk storage systems. |
