Seeed Studio sent us a review sample of the XIAO Soil Moisture Sensor powered by the XIAO ESP32C6 wireless module and running ...

Dirt. For millennia, the dark, rich soil underlying farms and gardens worldwide has been central to human survival. It’s also a lot more complex than it looks. Within every clump of soil lies an ...

A wheat field near Elberta, Utah, just became the most technically sophisticated wheat field on Earth, thanks to a talented team of BYU professors and students. The team of engineers placed 86 ...

Solid-state lithium-metal batteries (SSLMBs) are the holy-grail of next-generation energy storage, but their commercialization has been stymied by dendrite growth, fragile interfaces, and the ...

Samsung's Note, A-series, and S-series devices include several safety measures. One of these safety measures includes an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Another one is built-in ...

Abstract: In this paper, an antenna system sensor for soil moisture sensing is proposed. The antenna sensor comprises the parasitic irregular structure-based double-spiral resonator (PI-DSR), the ...

Most engineers don’t suit up with gardening gloves, but Navid Shaghaghi M.S. ’14 isn’t most engineers. When he’s not in the classroom, the engineering lecturer likes getting his hands dirty. Donning a ...

Abstract: Soil moisture monitoring is essential for optimizing irrigation strategies, enhancing crop yields, and conserving water resources in precision agriculture. Traditional sensing methods often ...

The Arduino Nano Connector Carrier is a compact add-on board designed for the Arduino Nano boards to allow easy connection to Qwiic, Grove, and Modulino expansion modules. The company also announced ...

In recent years, the emergence of sensor technologies has highlighted the key role of in situ soil moisture measurement in various hydrological, agricultural, and ecological applications. However, the ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today in ...
