Scientists created a skin-safe sensor that spots dangerous ammonia leaks through both color change and electronics. The breakthrough could save lives in factories, farms, and refrigeration facilities where ammonia exposure kills workers each year.
A physicist who turned dance shoes into musical instruments is now using wearable sensors to monitor endangered wildlife and prevent sports injuries. Joseph Paradiso's 30-year journey shows how one breakthrough can spark innovations across completely different fields.
A Melbourne startup is turning breakthrough research into a wearable sensor that detects fertility hormones through the skin, potentially eliminating the need for repeated blood draws during IVF treatment. The device could be ready for human trials within 18 months.
Forget tight fitness trackers strapped to your wrist. Scientists just discovered that loose, flowing fabric can monitor your movements 40% more accurately than current wearables.
Scientists created a conductive ink you can paint on like a temporary tattoo that tracks brain waves, heartbeats, and muscle movement without irritation. The customizable sensors work better than traditional electrodes and can look like anything from sharks to Superman.
Japanese scientists created health sensors so thin and transparent they're invisible on skin, removing the awkwardness of wearing medical devices. The breakthrough could make health monitoring as natural as wearing contact lenses.
Japanese researchers created a special "enzyme ink" that prints working biosensors in one step, solving the biggest obstacle to mass-producing wearable health monitors that run on sweat alone. These paper-thin patches could soon track your workout performance without batteries.
A groundbreaking device called Peri automatically monitors hot flashes and night sweats, helping women navigate perimenopause with data instead of guesswork. Backed by Ali Hewson after her own decade-long struggle to find relief, the wearable launches in the U.S. this week.
Researchers created a practical guide for building ultra-precise quantum sensors that can actually work outside labs. The breakthrough could transform everything from medical imaging to navigation systems.
A working-class LA neighborhood surrounded by highways and factories is fighting toxic air with hyperlocal sensors. Residents are gathering their own pollution data to demand change.
Engineers created a blueberry-sized sensor you can swallow that monitors your core body temperature in real time. The breakthrough could help catch infections early and keep vulnerable patients safe.
Scientists created a floating generator that turns tiny ocean temperature differences into electricity for marine sensors. The foot-long device works even when water and air differ by less than 10 degrees.
Scientists just cracked the code on powering ocean sensors indefinitely using nothing but the temperature difference between water and air. The tiny device generates electricity from a 19th-century idea that Tesla and Edison both patented but never perfected.
Scientists in Basel have proven that splitting entangled atoms into separate clouds creates sensors that measure electromagnetic fields with stunning accuracy. This quantum leap could make atomic clocks and gravity detectors dramatically more precise.
Scientists just built the world's first wearable ultrasound system that lets heart patients get monitored at home for 48 hours straight. The technology could catch health problems early while freeing up hospital resources for those who need them most.
Scientists at Rice University created a roadside sensor the size of an orange that helps self-driving cars see hidden obstacles like pedestrians and cyclists. The device works like a second set of eyes, catching blind spots that car sensors miss.
Scientists created a wearable ultrasound patch that continuously tracks babies in the womb, catching complications that traditional scans might miss. The device has already helped prevent one stillbirth by detecting a serious problem early.
Smart rings and fitness trackers are finally bridging the gap between health data and medical care. Oura and Whoop now let users video chat with doctors directly from their apps when devices detect potential health issues.
Scientists built penny-sized metal sensors that detect motion using only sound, no batteries required. The breakthrough could eliminate millions of batteries from smart home devices.
India's Gurgaon is using smart sensors developed by IIT startup to predict monsoon flooding up to five minutes before overflow. The city installed 40 AI-powered devices in flood-prone areas to protect residents and traffic. #
