Collaborate Disseminate
For its fourth Kickstarter, camera trigger/accessory company Miops has created a hot-shoe attachment called the Flex that’s designed to help photographers “capture stunning timelapse videos, HDR photos, high-speed actions, extraordinary lightning strik… Continue reading Miops aims to put a creativity toolbox on your camera
In order to monitor their wearers’ movements, smart fabrics typically incorporate strain-measuring sensors. And while such sensors are often impractically fragile, Harvard University scientists have created a new one that can really take a beating.Cont… Continue reading “Smart fabric” strain sensor combines strength and sensitivity
While we have been hearing about the development of health-monitoring implantable sensors, most such devices would have to be surgically removed once no longer needed. An experimental new one, however, would just harmlessly dissolve.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Implantable gas sensor designed to dissolve when its job is done
When conducting environmental studies in hard-to-access locations, scientists will often set up wireless networks of small data-logging sensors. Deploying those sensors can be difficult and even dangerous work, though, which is why a dart-shooting dron… Continue reading Drone deploys sensors by shooting them as darts
Flexible electronics have opened up some interesting possibilities when it comes to wearable sensors that can be applied to the skin, taking the form of tattoo-like films and sleeves that monitor various aspects of human health. Scientists at Penn Stat… Continue reading Wearable sensors can be printed directly onto skin at room temperature
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a tiny new sensor that can be carried around on a small drone or even the back of an insect – and then dropped on demand to track the environment for years at a time.Continue ReadingCategory: E… Continue reading Tiny sensor system can be airdropped by drones and insects where needed
Looking to give himself a competitive edge, racer [Douglas Hedges] wanted to come up with a system that could give him real-time feedback on how his current performance compared to his previous fastest lap time. Armed with a Raspberry Pi and some Python libraries, he set out to add a …read more
No, no, at first we thought it was a Pokemon too, but Placemon monitors your place, your home, your domicile. Instead of a purpose-built device, like a CO detector or a burglar alarm, this is a generalized monitor that streams data to a central processor where machine learning …read more
As we go deeper into the pandemic, many buildings sit empty or have limited capacity. During times like these having visibility into the state of the building can give building operations peace of mind. Today, Verkada, a startup that helps operations manage buildings via the cloud, announced a new set of environmental sensors to give […] Continue reading Verkada adds environmental sensors to cloud-based building operations toolkit
Graphene, the electrically-conductive “wonder material” made up of a one-atom-thick sheet of linked carbon atoms, already has many uses. It now has another, however, as the active ingredient in a sensor that detects food spoilage.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Graphene-based sensor detects spoiled fish and meat
