Researchers from Empa, EPFL and CSEM have developed a green smart sensing tag that measures temperature and humidity in real ...

It's surprisingly tricky to find a temperature that keeps food fresh, not frozen. Here's what I learned after testing all the ...

Sometimes you need to know what temperature something is, but you don’t quite want to touch it. At times like these, you ...

What if a doctor could inject an electricity-conducting liquid into the body, let it temporarily solidify to record nerve ...

It happens each year when the weather turns cold: The coats, hats, sweaters and blankets come out. The lights come on earlier. And the arguments over how high or low to set the thermostat begin. But ...

Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These include so-called quantum sensors ...

I tested a tiny plug-in that claims to prevent electrical fires - can something so simple really bring peace of mind?

As China’s poultry industry is rapidly moving towards standardization and large-scale development, high-yield breeds in large-scale farms are particularly sensitive to environmental changes.

Don't spend the winter shivering. Set your thermostat to the right temperature to stay comfortable and save money all season long. Mike De Socio is a CNET contributor who writes about energy, personal ...

Sensors are devices that detect and quantify physical aspects of the world around us. The measurement can either be read directly or converted to a signal for processing by electrical, hydraulic or ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
