Posted by ArielTechGeek 21 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Soil moisture sensors can help farmers save water, by letting them know when their crops actually need to be watered. An experimental new sensor could be particularly helpful, as it incorporates a special material which makes it highly sensitive to moisture.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: KAUST, metal-organic frameworks, Agriculture, Water Conservation, Crops
Simple and effective mercury sensor taps into the power of tapping
Posted by ArielTechGeek 35 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Mercury can definitely be harmful in large amounts, and detecting its presence in foods or liquids typically requires lab-based tests. A new nanosensor, however, can quickly detect even tiny concentrations of the heavy metal onsite, simply by tapping on samples.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: American Chemical Society, National Tsing Hua University, Mercury, Sensors, Food, Water
Simple automotive collision-avoidance sensor inspired by insect brains
Posted by ArielTechGeek 71 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Self-driving cars typically use radar or LiDAR technology to avoid collisions with other vehicles. Scientists have now created a much simpler insect-inspired system that could serve the same purpose more efficiently – at night, that is.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Biomimicry, Insect, Collision, Obstacle avoidance, Pennsylvania State University, Self-Driving
Last year, Samsung demonstrated the power of its monstrous 200-megapixel camera sensor by printing a billboard-sized cat photo taken on a phone. Now the company has started mass producing its successor, the Isocell HP2.Continue ReadingCategory: Mobile Technology, TechnologyTags: Samsung, Cameras, Sensors, Photography, smartphones
Experimental strain sensor uses cuts to combine range and sensitivity
Posted by ArielTechGeek 82 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Motion-measuring strain sensors have many uses, such as tracking a person's physical activity, or reading their blood pressure. A new such device could prove to be particularly useful, as it combines high sensitivity with a wide range of detectable motion.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: North Carolina State University, Motion sensor, Nanowires
Palm-worn e-tattoo sensor monitors stress on the sly
Posted by ArielTechGeek 113 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While most of us have a pretty good sense of when we're getting too stressed, people with certain mental health issues may benefit from being made aware of the situation, so they can take the appropriate action. A new palm-worn electronic tattoo could help in that regard.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Texas A&M Universty, University of Texas, Wearable, Stress
Facial strain sensor could give a voice to the voiceless
Posted by ArielTechGeek 117 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While some assistance is available to individuals who lack the power of speech, verbally communicating with other people can still be challenging. A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it's able to "read" the wearer's silently mouthed words.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearables, TechnologyTags: Tsinghua University, Speech, Voice recognition, Facial, Sensors
Swallowable sensor transmits live reports on intestinal glucose levels
Posted by ArielTechGeek 117 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Intestinal glucose levels are a major indicator of overall gastrointestinal health, and the current method of measuring them involves putting a catheter down the patient's throat. Soon, however, a swallowable "smart pill" could do the job much less intrusively.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: UC San Diego, Biosensors, Fuel Cell, Glucose
