According to a new study published in Nature, researchers at the University of Washington have developed small, wireless sensors that can travel on the wind, much like dandelion seeds can. Researchers ...

Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient. The system is based on millimeter-wave radar technology, which are short-range radar sensors that, as the name ...

These tools could provide unique insights for a variety of applications, including digital agriculture and monitoring climate change. One problem, however, is that it is currently time-consuming and ...

A radical new approach with dramatically improved performance underlines the limitations of silicon-based sensors. Sheffield, December 7 th 2022 – Phlux Technology, the designer of high-performance ...

Blowing dandelion seeds into the wind isn't just a pretty little way for kids (and adults) to waste away a warm afternoon outside. They’re also an exceptionally effective way for certain species of ...

A gliding sensor inspired by Javan cucumber seeds could be used for environmental monitoring, and then quickly biodegrade, leaving no waste behind. Ecologists routinely use sensors to collect data on ...
