I’ve been writing about smoke detectors for a few years. That often involves researching fire statistics, so when I see something like the fact that the death rate from a fire is 60 percent lower in ...

Door sensors are some of the simplest smart home devices you can get. Instead of anything fancy like measuring the heat or motion, all they do is detect when their two halves are separated. Yet, that ...

Vibration sensing to extract meaningful data from places where traditional microphones, cameras or direct electrical measurements are no longer sufficient is gaining traction. This includes capturing ...

From absolute beginners to advanced users — one library, two layers, full control. myDHT is a fully self-contained Arduino library for DHT11 and DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors, designed to ...

Researchers in Ania Bleszynski Jayich’s lab use a mechanical resonator to enable greater entanglement for potentially more powerful sensors. Most people think of diamonds as high-end adornments. Not ...

There are countless smart home devices, varied in gadgetry and practicality, that you can place piecemeal throughout your home and configure any way you want. From voice assistants to smart locks, ...

The eyes of the city are on the Bosque. Not real eyes. Something better -- camera sensors that can detect thermal activity up to 100 feet away. Eighteen of these have been installed in wooded areas ...

Researchers have developed a bioelectronic sensor that uses living bacteria to generate electrical signals when they detect specific substances. The technology could enable long-lasting sensors ...
