Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions ...

Cornell’s CU GeoData project team brings together engineering and earth science students to design and deploy low-cost environmental sensors aimed at improving regional climate data and research.

The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

In labs around the world, scientists chase forces too faint to see and too small to touch. They hunt for tiny magnetic ...

It's vitally important to monitor the water quality of fish farms, as problems such as pollution can quickly prove disastrous. A small new floating cube was designed with this in mind, as it ...

BEAVERTON, Oregon — Vernier Science Education recently launched the Go Direct ® Soil Moisture Sensor to help high school and college-level students easily and accurately collect data during soil ...

IMDEX Limited (ASX: IMD) ("IMDEX" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into binding agreements to acquire ...

The sooner a farmer knows that their crops are suffering, the faster they can take action to prevent major crop failure. A new plant-leaf-poking sensor could soon help them do so, by sending an alert ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...

A new sensor can detect 'forever chemicals' known as PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in drinking water. PFAS are found in many consumer products and are linked to cancer and other ...

Work on new sensor materials is constantly evolving, and one of the most promising concepts is sensor paints and coatings. When testing for a concentration of a component of a gas or liquid, a normal ...
