Research & Developments
This month we've got a wireless sensor network that monitors the health and stability of shelving systems in warehouses, sensors used to detect a smoker's motions to track how often they're smoking, and terahertz wave detectors developed for astronomical research but that could be used for a range of terrestrial applications as well. more >>
