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 ...
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 ...
Tiny wireless sensors inspired by floating seeds could be used to measure environmental factors such as pH – but they could also have military applications. John Rogers at Northwestern University in ...
