... environments. These include specialised designs, novel sensing technologies and others which are inherently capable of withstanding extreme conditions and materials which can perform in, or which are resistant to, these environments. Several new technologies are under development which aim to extend sensor...

...Robert W. Bogue Considers the role of a range of materials being used in advanced sensor technology, including diamond, fullerenes, silicon carbide, superconductors, rare earths and III‐V compounds. Sensors based on these materials are described and their applications discussed. © MCB UP Limited...
