CU Boulder Today—A team of University of Colorado Boulder researchers is making reliable, inexpensive and easy-to-deploy sensors that monitor soil in real time as it, essentially, breathes in and out.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a wearable sensor system capable of estimating braking and propulsion forces while running outdoors — a ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

Curious about how cadence sensors work and how to use them effectively? This hands-on guide breaks down the basics of cadence sensing—from the core principles behind pedal rotation tracking to ...

Hundreds of sensors placed throughout New York City measure water as it rises, then send the data to an interactive map available to the public. By Cole del Charco Kelly Hayes, a co-owner of Gowanus ...

Abstract: This study presents a compact sensor for simultaneous force measurement and depth profiling. We have developed a fiber-optic sensor structure capable of integrating common-path optical ...

Thermopile sensors offer a reliable way to measure temperature without physical contact, making them ideal for real-world applications where speed, safety, and precision matter. Whether you are ...

A new wearable wristband could significantly improve diabetes management by continuously tracking not only glucose but also other chemical and cardiovascular signals that influence disease progression ...

An HVAC pressure sensor is particularly important in the cooling cycle—which includes compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation—where it helps regulate refrigerant flow. Proper airflow ...
