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, ...

They're small, smart and vigilant, the sort of miniature technology that science fiction writers once dreamed of. But the battery-powered, wireless sensors sometimes known as "smart dust" are here, ...

“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 ...

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 ...
