Tyre sensor will increase driver safety / caesar Research Center at the Hanover Fair
You break on black ice or on a wet highway, friction is almost zero and your car goes into a skid: A scenario which will be avoided in future. Scientists at the caesar Research Center in Bonn are developing a new technology for improving vehicle safety still further. At the Hanover Fair caesar will... view more (2003-04-02)

Maximum Comfort for Patients
A multiple-parameter medical network with wireless sensors for the measurement of vital body functions will be exhibited by Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS at the CeBIT 2004. It is comfortable and convenient to wear - the wireless sensor wristband of Fraunhofer IIS for the... view more (2004-03-05)

Making sense of sensors
A forest ranger helicopter flies over a forest, scattering sensors that can relay temperature data to the ranger station. To ensure minimal environmental impact with maximum robustness, the sensors are very simple: they are basically tiny, sturdy thermometers.   view more (2006-12-05)

Crop Management: How Small Do We Go?
The use of on-the-go crop and soil sensors has greatly increased the precision with which farmers can manage their crops. Recently released research in Agronomy Journal questions whether more precise management is necessarily more efficient.   view more (2008-07-09)

Researchers catch ion channels in their opening act
Each thought or action sends a million electrical signals pulsing through your body. At the heart of the process of generating these electrical impulses is the ion channel.    view more (2008-07-11)

New cell-based sensors sniff out danger like bloodhounds
A small, unmanned vehicle makes its way down the road ahead of a military convoy. Suddenly it stops and relays a warning to the convoy commander. The presence of a deadly improvised explosive device, or IED, has been detected by sophisticated new sensor technology incorporating living olfactory... view more (2008-05-07)

Robust sensor yields cleaner car exhaust
Emissions from cars have to be reduced further in order to meet today's environmental demands. A new and robust exhaust sensor developed by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden has proven to meter the consistency of exhaust gases extremely well and is now on its way to the market.   view more (2005-04-27)

Hopkins researchers develop new tool to watch real-time chemical activity in cells
