(Summary description)　　As the field of sensor applications continues to expand, the sensor market will maintain rapid growth. Looking back on the sensor market in 2016, which new products are well-deserved "black technology"? Let us wait and see how new products that will subvert the Three Views will appear in the sensing market in 2017. 　　2016 sensor new product group refreshes the screen Who will be the king of "black technology"? 　　At the end of 2016, the State Council issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year" National Strategic Emerging Industry Development Plan. The plan proposes to promote the research and development and industrialization of key technologies in areas such as smart sensors. This undoubtedly shows that smart sensors and world-class high-end chips will be the key areas of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 20017. Sensors are the most basic hardware in the era of intelligent perception, and the process of intelligentization is accelerating. Any connected intelligent terminal node cannot do without sensors. As the field of sensor applications continues to expand, the sensor market will maintain rapid growth, especially wearable devices, automotive electronics, medical care, and the Internet of Things will become the main growth points for sensors. So, looking back on the entire 2016, what are the new “black technology” products in the sensor market that are eye-catching?     1. Molecular sensor 　　In the past, although there have been technologies that used chemical substances in the "invisible ink" that needed to be encrypted, it has been difficult to ensure that hidden information is not read without authorization with continuously improved detection methods. In response to this situation, David Margulis of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and his research team developed a fluorescent molecular sensor that can distinguish different chemical substances by generating specific fluorescence emission spectra. Taking into account recent concerns about global electronic surveillance, this sensor provides a safe means to bypass electronic communication systems. 2. Wireless sensor 　　In recent years, fitness trackers have become a more popular wearable technology product. However, engineers at the University of California, Berkeley took this concept one step further and developed extremely small wireless sensors to detect the health of the human body. It is reported that these devices have been reduced to a cubic millimeter only about the size of a grain of dust, called "neural dust." These sensors can be implanted in the human body, where they will perform real-time detection of tissues, muscles and nerves. 3. Bioluminescence sensor 　　The bioluminescence sensor is actually a new type of research method, invented by a group of scientists from Vanderbilt University in the United States through genetic modification of the biological enzyme luciferase. According to the researchers, this new sensor can be used to track the internal interactions of large neural networks in the brain. 4. Artificial hair sensor 　　For humans, the skin is not only a barrier to protect us from dust and bacteria, but also a medium for us to experience changes in the external environment. As researchers further develop robotics technology, they are also working hard to create functions like real skin for robots. He Xiaodong, a professor of materials science at Harbin Institute of Technology in China, and his colleagues have innovated in this regard. The new technology they developed can imitate the fine hair on the surface of the human body and transmit sensory information to the robot. The researchers used 30-micron fine wires instead of hair, and embedded a row of fine wires in silicone rubber. The role of this row of wires is to bring external information to the artificial skin. The research results can be used for sensing artificial limbs or corresponding medical and health care equipment. 5. Composite touch sensor 　　At present, most of the robot's touch sensors only have force sensors, so they can only detect the hardness and texture of objects, which makes the robot's accuracy in identifying foreign objects very low. But if combined with traditional force sensors, composite touch sensors can help robots recognize the composition of objects. Using this principle, experts from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States demonstrated that they designed a "skin" for robots that can generate heat and made of conductive and non-conductive fabrics and thermistors. 6. Air sensor 　　TZOA has introduced a new type of air sensor. It is understood that this is a sensor that can collect air quality information. The information collected includes the type and quantity of particles and whether it contains harmful chemical substances. And the device can also protect fetuses and children from pollutants that affect brain development. In the future, the company plans to sell equipment for outdoor pollutio
