To do that, you have to find your own way toward hope—there’s no better insincerity detector than a little kid.

The bollards and the metal detectors at every door didn’t stop them.

Terpenoid detectors might cue an octopus to quickly grasp something it touches before it swims away — or to let go and keep searching.

In 1988, he was a spokesman for a collaboration of about 350 physicists, preparing a detector called ALEPH, for the CERN electron-positron collider then under construction.

You can also control the faucet from an app, with a motion detector on the front of the spout, or by lifting the handle as you would with any old sink.

A three-hundred-ton chemical brew forms the core of the detector—which flashes on the extremely rare occasion that a neutrino interacts with the liquid.

Hubble’s operators worried that the bright star would fry the telescope’s detectors.

If they can come up with enough ways to sense the invisible — like checking whether it tickles different types of detectors, or whether it nudges starlight, warms planetary cores or even lodges in rocks — its ghostly influence could show up anywhere.
