Remote Water Quality Monitoring
While it can be straightforward to distill water to high purity, this is rarely the best method for producing water for useful purposes. Even drinking water typically needs certain minerals …read more Continue reading Remote Water Quality Monitoring
Automating the Most Analog of HVAC Equipment
Burning wood, while not a perfect heating solution, has a number of advantages over more modern heating appliances. It’s a renewable resource, doesn’t add carbon to the atmosphere over geologic …read more Continue reading Automating the Most Analog of HVAC Equipment
Wi-Fi Sensor for Rapid Prototyping
There might seem like a wide gulf between the rapid prototyping of a project and learning a completely new electronics platform, but with the right set of tools, these two …read more Continue reading Wi-Fi Sensor for Rapid Prototyping
Raspberry Pi Weather Station Features Wireless Sensor Nodes
Online weather services are great for providing generic area forecasts, but they don’t provide hyperlocal data specific to your location. [Harald Kreuzer] needed both and built a Raspberry Pi Weather …read more Continue reading Raspberry Pi Weather Station Features Wireless Sensor Nodes
Our body temperature is decreasing and gut bacteria could be responsible
Over the past 150 years, researchers have seen the average human body temperature drop by more than half a degree Fahrenheit (-0.3 °C). In a new study from the University of Michigan, scientists looking at hospitalized sepsis patients found certain spe… Continue reading Our body temperature is decreasing and gut bacteria could be responsible
How rain and rocks keep Earth habitable through wild climate changes
Our current climate catastrophe is far from Earth’s first, but for billions of years life has continued to plod along through these ups and downs. MIT scientists have now analyzed 66 million years of climate data and uncovered a stabilizing mechanism t… Continue reading How rain and rocks keep Earth habitable through wild climate changes
World’s first liquid-nitrogen outdoor cooling system set for trials
Israeli company Green Kinoko is preparing for the first public tests of a remarkable clean outdoor cooling system. The Kinsho system operates like the inverse of an outdoor cafe heater, cooling several tables per unit without using any electricity.Cont… Continue reading World’s first liquid-nitrogen outdoor cooling system set for trials
“Brain thermometer” circuitry might explain those summer afternoon naps
The relationship between temperature and sleep is a highly complicated one, but researchers continue to tease out valuable new insights around how the heat and cold can influence our rest. A new study on fruit flies may help explain why siestas came to… Continue reading “Brain thermometer” circuitry might explain those summer afternoon naps
Moon caves may offer year-round jeans-and-jacket temperatures
The Moon isn’t the most hospitable place, but that’s not stopping NASA from sending humans back there soon. Thankfully, an orbiter has now found a region of the Moon with year-round jeans-and-jacket weather – underground caves.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Moon caves may offer year-round jeans-and-jacket temperatures
