DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire announced it has been awarded $24.3 million by NASA, on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to build sensors for an alert ...

The ongoing miniaturization of electronics has allowed for the creation of some incredibly small sensors to track things like temperature and humidity. Imagining a future where hundreds of them are ...

Here is an introduction to the low cost anemometer (wind sensor) from Modern Device (http://moderndevice.com) . This small sensor suitable for electronic experiments ...

SwRI staff prepare the Solar Wind Plasma Sensor (SWiPS) for integration into a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite dedicated to tracking space weather. SWiPS will measure ...

May 11, 2009 Clean, renewable energy is freely available – in the form of wind, sun and water. However, harnessing it reliably and cost-effectively remains a barrier. Wind power is one of the fastest ...

As part of a sustainable energy solution, wind power has demonstrated great potential to satisfy energy demands with a clean, safe, and highly efficient As part of a sustainable energy solution, wind ...

An array of sensors and a steel treadmill create and record wind-tunnel conditions that more accurately model complex driving situations. The Rolling Road System, a moving stainless-steel belt and an ...

The idea of a balloon that floats high up above Earth indefinitely is a tantalizing one. Solar power would allow such stratospheric balloons to operate like low-cost satellites at the edge of space, ...
