A new sensor has been designed to replace mechanical float switches. The Leveltrak is an electronic non-floating sensor. It detects level without any moving parts. Using capacitative sensing ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley are creating a new kind of floating water sensor that uses GPS-equipped smartphones to provide more detail about what’s happening in a body of ...

Inspired by how dandelions use the wind to distribute their seeds, a University of Washington team developed a tiny, battery-free sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind as it tumbles ...

Berkeley—A fleet of 100 floating robots took a trip down the Sacramento River today (Wednesday, May 9) in a field test organized by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley. The ...

DARPA has awarded a contract for the next phase of development of its Ocean of Things (OoT), a project to seed the seas with thousands of floating sensors, monitoring everything that passes from ...

These cool looking little bots are part of a fleet of floating water sensors built by The Lagrangian Sensor Systems Laboratory (LSSL) at UC Berkeley, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) ...

Digital temperature sensors combine a sensor, an ADC, and a serial interface in a single chip. They feature wide enough measurement range, good accuracy and resolution, no need of external parts, easy ...

It’s been a couple of years and a couple of million dollars. Finally, researchers and graduate students who have spent years developing intelligent water sensors released them into the Sacramento ...
