Sensa nthawi zambiri imakhala ndi magawo anayi: chinthu chofunikira, a

kutembenuka chinthu, kutembenuka dera ndi wothandiza magetsi. The

tcheru chinthu mwachindunji amamva chinthu kuyeza ndi linanena bungwe thupi

chizindikiro cha kuchuluka chomwe chili ndi ubale wotsimikizika ndi chinthu choyezedwa. The

kutembenuka kwa chinthu kumasintha kuchuluka kwa siginecha yotulutsa sensa

mu chizindikiro chamagetsi; Dera lotembenuzidwa ndilofunika kukulitsa ndi

modulating magetsi chizindikiro linanena bungwe ndi kutembenuka chinthu. Kutembenuka

zinthu ndi mabwalo otembenuza nthawi zambiri amafunikira magetsi othandizira. The

Ntchito ya sensa nthawi zambiri imafaniziridwa ndi ziwalo zisanu zazikulu zamunthu:

Sensor yowala - Masomphenya

Acoustic sensors - Kumva

 Sensa ya gasi - Fungo

 Chemical sensor - Kulawa

 Kupanikizika, kutentha, sensor yamadzimadzi - kukhudza

 Kugawika kwa zinthu zofunika kwambiri:

 Physics, kutengera zotsatira zakuthupi monga mphamvu, kutentha, kuwala, magetsi, maginito ndi phokoso.

 Chemistry, yozikidwa pa mfundo zamachitidwe amankhwala.

 Biological, kutengera ntchito zozindikiritsa maselo monga ma enzyme, ma antibodies, ndi mahomoni.

Nthawi zambiri, malinga ndi ntchito zake zomveka zoyambira, zitha kugawidwa m'magulu khumi

monga matenthedwe, zinthu zopanga zithunzi, zinthu zomwe zimakhudzidwa ndi gasi, zinthu zokakamiza,

zinthu za maginito, zinthu zokhudzidwa ndi chinyezi, zinthu zomveka bwino, ma radiation

zinthu tcheru, mtundu tcheru zinthu ndi kukoma tcheru zinthu
