In this video, I'm making a carbon monoxide monitor for my home using an MQ7 carbon monoxide sensor, a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, and a NodeMCU microcontroller board. This sensor is ...

A new approach to simulating biologically inspired robotics can cut the design and training of tactile robots from eighteen months to two weeks, new research suggests. Published in Cyborg & Bionic ...

What would it mean to simulate a human brain? Today’s most powerful computing systems now contain enough computational firepower to run simulations of billions of neurons, comparable to the ...

If you build engines, tune cars, or even just like mashing your foot on the throttle with conviction, you’ve probably heard the term “wideband O2 sensor” being thrown around at the track, dyno ...

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

Aqara has announced the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400, a new presence sensor that it says is precise enough to suss out whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down. The FP400 builds on several past ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

I live in New Jersey, one of the states that mandates inspection for all vehicles newer than 1995. My daily driver, a Jeep Cherokee, happens to be a 1996 model year with an OBD-II sensor, meaning I ...

A team of scientists has developed a remarkable new approach to modeling how cells behave over time—using a digital "forecast" much like predicting the weather. By combining patient genomics with a ...

Some engine bays are as droolworthy as the cars they adorn, but under the twisty mechanical artistry lies an array of electronic wizardry to help run your car. The crankshaft position sensor is one of ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...
