Carsten Brinkschulte, who founded Dryad Networks, built an IoT network to detect wildfires. He's motivated by the impact of his work and urges founders and engineers to move to green tech. This ...

Modern traffic light technology isn't just a simple sequence of red, yellow, and green. It's a complex detection system designed to manage traffic flow based on real-time demand. The very first "smart ...

You no longer need to spend money on expensive smart devices. If you take your data’s privacy seriously and want your smart ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

What if a sensor embedded onto the grip of a firearm was sensitive enough to detect an individual’s level of intoxication? And once detected, could it disable the firing pin mechanism? Research ...

The last 10 years or so have produced some colossal and deadly fire events that have destroyed whole towns, burned a record amount of acreage, and polluted skies for weeks. And wildfires are not just ...

Researchers at Stanford University have successfully developed a stretchy, transparent, skin-like sensor which can be used in such applications as prosthetic limbs, robotics, and touch-sensitive ...

Researchers have developed a sensor made from 'frozen smoke' that uses artificial intelligence techniques to detect formaldehyde in real time at concentrations as low as eight parts per billion, far ...

Dryad Networks is making solar-powered sensors that can recognize wildfires early. The setup uses machine learning and alerts first responders. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his) is a Senior Video Producer for ...
