The best way to find buried treasure may be with a quantum gravity sensor. In these devices, free-falling atoms reveal subtle variations in Earth’s gravitational pull at different places. Those ...

The sooner a farmer knows that their crops are suffering, the faster they can take action to prevent major crop failure. A new plant-leaf-poking sensor could soon help them do so, by sending an alert ...

A new prototype sensor is capable of detecting errors in MRI scans using laser light and gas. The new sensor can thereby do what is impossible for current electrical sensors -- and hopefully pave the ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery ...

BEAVERTON, Oregon — Vernier Science Education recently launched the Go Direct ® Soil Moisture Sensor to help high school and college-level students easily and accurately collect data during soil ...

Despite being related to the humble freshwater perch, the Atlantic goliath grouper grows to be huge – up to 8 feet long (2.4 m) and 800 lb (363 kg). Scientists have recently learned more about its ...

Engineers have introduced a holistic system that integrates sensing, storage and processing at the sensor's edge to enable efficient and secure signal processing. Brain-inspired hardware minimizes ...
