The potential sources of energy that can be harvested for free—or close to it—almost defy imagination. While some, such as wind, fluid flow, and solar, are somewhat obvious, others are not. Consider ...

There’s a huge variety of ways that we can potentially generate all the power we need for tiny medical sensors or other devices with minimal power needs. But there’s often a big gap between those ...

Humans, microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi), and plants all react differently to dry ambient conditions. Microbes adapt quickly by shrinking down, forming thicker membranes, and becoming dormant.

Taking advantages of intramolecular motion of D-A based aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecular rotors and one-dimensional (1D) polymer fibers, highly sensitive optical fiber sensors that respond ...

Wagner Meters announces a new monitoring device that tracks and documents ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions discretely and constantly, even when you are away from the job site.

The additive introduced into the solution for preparing the photoactive layer enhances Marangoni flow, thereby offsetting capillary flow caused by changes in the substrate’s surface energy due to ...

A low-power, compact, RH and temperature sensor eases the challenges associated with accurately, reliably, and consistently measuring these important environmental parameters. Features of the new TI ...

Panel paintings are essentially wooden boards painted on one side. Due to the vapor resistance of the paint layer, changing ambient conditions lead to exchange of moisture on only one surface.
