{"cc_re__cc_re__cc_by_sa_3_0": ["or by an instrument. For example, a mercury-in-glass thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated glass tube. A thermocouple converts temperature to an output voltage which can be read by a voltmeter. For accuracy, most sensors are calibrated against known standards.</p></p>\n\t</article>\t\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wiki-credit\">\n\t\tThis text uses material from <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/Sensor\">Wikipedia</a>,\n\t\tlicensed under <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\">CC BY-SA</a>\n\t</div>\n\n    </section>\n    \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t    <p class=\"rss-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"rss-icon\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" src=\"http://cdn.phys.org/tmpl/v4/img/icons/icon-rss.png\" alt=\"rss\">\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to <a href=\"http://phys.org/rss-feed/tags/detector/\">rss feed</a>\n\t\t\t\t    </p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t    \n\t<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\n        google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-0536483524803400\";\n        /* Phys.org - Tags page 2 */\n        google_ad_slot = \"1038251535\";\n        google_ad_width = 336;"], "copyright__copyright__copyright": ["3.7 / 5 (3) 0\n\nChemical sensor on a chip\n\nUsing miniaturized laser technology, a tiny sensor has been built at the Vienna University of Technology which can test the chemical composition of liquids.\n\nJun 11, 2014 5 / 5 (4) 0\n\nA new subdetector for LHC's ATLAS\n\nClosest to the beam pipe where particle collisions will occur in the very heart of ATLAS, a new subdetector \u2013 the Insertable B-Layer \u2013 was recently put in place.
