Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

The graph at top shows TFX heat flux sensor data used to monitor resin flow and cure during an INNOTOOL 4.0 project trial employing the mold in Fig. 3 (RTM6 resin, 3.2-mm thickness). The project’s ...

DANBURY — New sensors, designed to gauge how hot the city feels for the people who live in it, have been installed near public housing complexes in Danbury. The heat sensors are part of a research ...

This tiny chip can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and could one day sit inside the core of a nuclear reactor, delivering critical real-time data.

The Venus flytrap can survive in the nutrient-poor swamps of North and South Carolina because it compensates for the lack of nitrogen, phosphate and minerals by catching and eating small animals. It ...

Inspired by the behavior of natural skin, researchers have developed a sensor that will be suitable for use with electronic skin. It can measure changes in body temperature, and react to both sunlight ...
