In situ viscosity and temperature sensors are key to effective lubricant monitoring, driving smarter maintenance and ...

Scientists have developed tiny wireless sensors resilient enough to survive the harsh conditions inside jet engines to detect when critical bearings are close to failing and prevent breakdowns.

A hot bearing detector is about one foot long and placed at the base of a rail, Halstead said. It has an oval-shaped hole in the middle through which the device scans for infrared radiation coming ...
