WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University will lead a U.S. Department of Energy project to develop sensors aimed at reducing the cost and environmental impact of operating a building’s heating, ...

Over the past three years, the Raspberry Pi has proved that a credit card-sized microcomputer can routinely surprise users with its sneaky power and capabilities. Of course, the only problem is that a ...

The so-called ‘smart home’ often comes across looking incredibly dumb. Either you have to shell out lots of money to replace perfectly functional appliances for their Internet-connected equivalents — ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

The rising sea levels along Georgia’s Savannah coast and an uptick in more severe storms during hurricane season are bellwethers to looming ecological challenges stemming from climate change.

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...

France-based infrared sensor maker Lynred has officially kicked off a new European project to develop high-performance devices for use in future defense systems. The Grenoble company is coordinating ...

On a crisp, cloudless day earlier this year Ricardo Toledo-Crow went for a stroll in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx looking for one of the city’s newly discovered weak points: where water goes and ...

Supported by the Saving Energy Nationwide in Structures with Occupancy Recognition (SENSOR) program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), a ...

Oura is part of a new partnership that’s looking to develop photonic sensors for wearable devices. As reported by PULSE, the company is one of several Finland-based companies – along with GE ...

Wind sensors can drive many applications, from structural health to environmental health. In this project, we will explore an array of wireless signals (e.g., ultrasound, radio-frequency and lights) ...

Nowadays, numerous electronic sensor modules are available on the market that can be combined with inexpensive microcontroller boards to measure environmental parameters of importance. The project ...
