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
Despite the fact that it constantly seems like we’re in the midst of a robotics- and artificial intelligence-driven revolution, there are a number of tasks that continue to elude even …read more Continue reading FedEx Robot Solves Complex Packing Problems
If you live in a place where you can buy Arduinos and Raspberry Pis locally, you probably don’t spend much time worrying about your water supply. But in some parts …read more Continue reading $1 Graphene Sensor Identifies Safe Water
Losing the ability to speak after a brain injury or due to disease leaves a person unable to express their thoughts, feelings and ideas, and can be incredibly isolating. In two recently published studies, researchers demonstrated how combining brain im… Continue reading Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back

Building a weather station is a fairly common project that plenty of us have taken on, and for good reason. They can be built around virtually any microcontroller or full-scale …read more Continue reading Weather Station with Distributed Sensors
Radio trackers have become an important part of studying the movements of wildlife, but keeping one running for the life of an animal has been challenging. Researchers have now developed …read more Continue reading Kinefox Tracks Wildlife for a Lifetime
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
