A new prototype sensor is capable of detecting errors in MRI scans using laser light and gas. The new sensor can thereby do what is impossible for current electrical sensors -- and hopefully pave the ...

PFAS are forever chemicals that do not degrade in the environment. They enter soil and water, accumulate in plants, animals ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Imagine sticking a patch made of flexible electronics on your skin that could read your body temperature, monitor your blood circulation, even tell you when you need to put on sunscreen — and that ...
