If you want to track a snail, you need a tiny instrumentation package. How do you create an entire data acquisition system, including sensors, memory, data processing and a power supply, small enough ...

Every few years, a new technology comes around that the general public doesn't understand as well as its creators might like, such as artificial intelligence and the evolution of machine learning, ...

“It is 5 a.m. A Midwest farmer sips coffee in front of a computer. Up-to-the-minute satellite images show a weed problem in a field on the north-west corner of the farm. At 6:30 a.m., the farmer ...

The SM-PWM-01-A (527-SM-PWM-01A) is a smart dust sensor featuring a constant forced air convection typically used for dust detection in air and indoor air quality monitoring. It can detect a particle ...

If you are looking for the next disruptive technology headed for the enterprise: think dust. No, not small grains of sand, soot or dirt but similarly sized particles that have a brain. Smart dust, a ...

I was reading this morning about "smart dust" sensors, the theory that scientists could create hundreds of sensors that are super small and that can be used to monitor all manner of environmental ...

Imagine a world where wireless devices are as small as a grain of salt. These miniaturized devices have sensors, cameras and communication mechanisms to transmit the data they collect back to a base ...

The key to unraveling the mysteries of the brain may lie in getting better real time data from that cluster of neurons. We have effective imaging technologies like functional MRI and positron emission ...

Computers as small and light as particles of dust are moving out of the realm of science fiction, according to a recent Wall Street Journal story. It changes what is possible in computing. It opens up ...
