Botanical sensors are turning greenery into living data networks while monitoring plant health and optimizing yields.

The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

Let’s face it: As we age, our vision and balance aren’t what they used to be. These changes to our senses can be minor annoyances but can also lead to injury, from stubbed toes to serious falls.

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

Aqara has announced the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400, a new presence sensor that it says is precise enough to suss out whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down. The FP400 builds on several past ...

The fuel and spark strategies for a supercharged street car are only as smart as the sensors feeding data to the ECM. Here’s what happens when a blown beast’s MAP sensor can’t keep up, and how to fix ...

Researchers have developed a system, called ProxiCycle, that logs when a passing car comes too close to a cyclist (four feet or less). A small, inexpensive sensor plugs into bicycle handlebars and ...

Modern vehicles rely on a massive amount of electrical systems, sensors, and control modules to keep the wheels turning. Some of those devices are well-known, like your car's main computer or engine ...
