Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements a fraction of the width of a hair

Engineers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a new radar sensor that can pick up movements just 100th the width of a human hair. Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient.Conti… Continue reading Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements a fraction of the width of a hair

Sensor detects food spoilage in real time & sends info to your phone

Humans waste a lot of food, some of which is due to spoilage. Researchers have developed a tiny sensor that monitors the freshness of protein-rich foods like meat, chicken and fish in real time and sends the data to your smartphone. The device has the … Continue reading Sensor detects food spoilage in real time & sends info to your phone

Feel like monitoring an erupting volcano? There’s a sensor for that

Sensors used to monitor extreme environments need to provide reliable measurements despite high temperatures and harsh conditions. Now, researchers have developed a piezoelectric sensor that works at the temperature of erupting mafic lava, the hottest … Continue reading Feel like monitoring an erupting volcano?
