Nature Electronics, Published online: 07 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41928-026-01600-9 A chip-scale image sensor that uses a microelectromechanical system actuator to modulate the sensor’s position can enhance the spatial bandwidth product by up to 33.7-fold compared with operation without actuation.

Nature Electronics, Published online: 10 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41928-026-01597-1 A sensor network that is wirelessly interconnected through a dual-mode metamaterial integrated into clothing can continuously monitor systolic blood pressure in dynamic environments such as during exercise.

A standard quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has been turned into a much more sensitive mass sensor by using a normally avoided physical behavior: non-linear resonance. Instead of relying only on the small frequency shifts used in conventional sensing, the new method tracks an abrupt amplitude drop that appears when the device is driven into a non-linear regime. With this strategy, the system det…

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Accurately measuring small shifts in biological markers, like proteins and neurotransmitters, or harmful chemicals in the water supply can identify critical problems before they have a chance to impact patients or the environment. While some existing sensors can monitor the microscopic matter behind these issues, they often have limitations. A primary example is a device kn…
