Airdropped spinning-seed-inspired sensors could monitor soil moisture
Trees such as maples have “fruits” known as samaras, which consist of a seed joined to a papery wing. Scientists have now created artificial samaras, which could be used to quickly and easily monitor soil temperature from the air.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Airdropped spinning-seed-inspired sensors could monitor soil moisture
Selective warming film protects crops and infrastructure from cold nights
It’s a basic fact that temperatures drop at night, and that can damage crops, equipment and infrastructure. A team of scientists has created a new film that selectively absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of infrared light to efficiently keep ob… Continue reading Selective warming film protects crops and infrastructure from cold nights
Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity
Scientists in Hong Kong have demonstrated a new ultra-white ceramic material that can drastically cool buildings by reflecting sunlight and heat at record highs. The beetle-inspired material gets its ability from its nanostructure, stays tough to the e… Continue reading Ultra-white ceramic cools buildings with record-high 99.6% reflectivity
Adding Temperature Sensor Functionality To The CH32V003 MCU
As cheap as the WCH CH32V003 MCU is, its approximately $0.10 price tag looks far less attractive when you need to start adding on external ICs for missing basic features, …read more Continue reading Adding Temperature Sensor Functionality To The CH32V003 MCU
