A dust sensor is an optical electronic system to detect fine particles such as dust. In principle, an optical dust sensor detects the dust particle concentration the in air by using an optical sensing ...

Beginnings A Smart Dust "mote" is a sensor-processing node -- a millimeter-sized point in a network that observes and records its surroundings. Information these motes collect varies depending on ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have developed a sensor called ‘Dust Alert’ that provides real-time contamination levels in terms of dust, pollen and toxins within the home or office.

Smart dust, observed Joshua Smith, a principal engineer at Intel Labs in Seattle, proved impossible because the clever sensors needed batteries. Instead of dust, he said, the sensor nodules would ...

Tiny implant could connect humans and machines like never before Invention of 'neural dust' could mean people will be able to communicate with computers using the power of their mind ...

This build is about using the temperature sensor in your clock. The ATMega328p, the chip at the heart of all your Arduino Uno clones, has within it a watchdog timer that clicks over at a rate of ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...
