For as much advancement as humanity has made in modern medicine even in the last century alone, there’s still plenty we don’t understand about the human body. That’s particularly true …read more Continue reading Custom Glove Guides Wearers’ Dreams
Most of us don’t really need to wear special pants that let us know when we’re exhausted; we’re good at figuring that out all on our own. However, when it comes to hardcore athletes, getting an alert when the body starts moving in a way that indicates … Continue reading Pants made with electronic yarn could transmit exhaustion alerts
It’s certainly handy to know how fast gears or wheels are spinning, but equipping them with external sensors can be awkward and may affect their performance. That’s why scientists have devised a method of 3D-printing wireless sensors right into the thi… Continue reading MechSense 3D-prints wireless rotational sensors right into moving parts
The US Marine Corps has decided to purchase Northrop Grumman’s all-in-one Next Generation Handheld Targeting System (NGHTS) that packs a suite of day/night targeting sensors in a 10-lb (4.5-kg) package and can operate in GPS-denied areas.Continue Readi… Continue reading US Marines to get Northrop Grumman NGHTS four-in-one targeting device
Mercury can definitely be harmful in large amounts, and detecting its presence in foods or liquids typically requires lab-based tests. A new nanosensor, however, can quickly detect even tiny concentrations of the heavy metal onsite, simply by tapping o… Continue reading Simple and effective mercury sensor taps into the power of tapping
Last year, Samsung demonstrated the power of its monstrous 200-megapixel camera sensor by printing a billboard-sized cat photo taken on a phone. Now the company has started mass producing its successor, the Isocell HP2.Continue ReadingCategory: Mobile … Continue reading Samsung improves the 200-MP formula for Isocell HP2 smartphone camera sensor
Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) can have negative consequences for both marine life and human health, so it can be helpful to have early warning of when they’re on the way. …read more Continue reading Detecting Algal Blooms with the Help of AI
