Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

Developers are using AI tools like ChatGPT to quickly generate C++ code for reading and logging data from sensors such as DHT22, BME280, and photodiodes. By combining AI-assisted coding with ...

3 DIY projects you can do to create a smart home with an Arduino board.

When it comes to performance, there's a world of difference between the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The former, after all, is technically a fully functional computer that can run games, word processors, ...

When we think about highly sensitive medical testing, we often imagine a hospital laboratory filled with large instruments, trained technicians, and carefully controlled conditions. This is especially ...

Door sensors are some of the simplest smart home devices you can get. Instead of anything fancy like measuring the heat or motion, all they do is detect when their two halves are separated. Yet, that ...

Photonic devices are hardware systems that can process information using light instead of electricity. These systems could ...

Interstellar travel propelled by light just got one step closer. Light sails, which are huge sheets pushed along by light that bounces off of them, may be the best way to travel enormous distances ...

Researchers have built an ultra-sensitive sensor capable of detecting unimaginably small amounts of energy — below one zeptojoule. The breakthrough relies on fragile superconducting materials that ...

At Flinders University, scientists have cracked a cleaner and greener way to extract gold—not just from ore, but also from our mounting piles of e-waste. By using a compound normally found in pool ...

Red light therapy has long been used to reduce inflammation and improve skin texture, which is why LED devices are having a moment—you can reap some of the benefits without booking a professional ...
