New miniaturized spectroscopy sensor technology developed by a European consortium could do for chemical sensing what camera phones have done for visual imaging. Developed by the MIRPHAB project, this ...

UV (ultraviolet) sensors of all sorts have been an interest of mine. They become interesting when you find the diversity of real-world practical applications. While searching for affordable UV light ...

Swiss research lab EPFL and the Geneva School of Art and Design have collaborated on the development of a wearable light sensor that measures how much light an individual is exposed to during their ...

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...

The so-called ‘smart home’ often comes across looking incredibly dumb. Either you have to shell out lots of money to replace perfectly functional appliances for their Internet-connected equivalents — ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University will lead a U.S. Department of Energy project to develop sensors aimed at reducing the cost and environmental impact of operating a building’s heating, ...

We learned a couple of things from those Fitbit smartwatch pictures that leaked this week – and a bigger picture of what the company’s new device is emerging. For starters, it’s going to look like a ...

Mikros Systems of Princeton, N.J., has won a $48 million contract to provide the Navy with devices that can provide adaptive diagnostics of sensors. Known as Adaptive Diagnostic Electronic Portable ...
