Smart home automation is the ultimate life hack, in my humble opinion. Whether for efficiency, accessibility, nerding out, or just plain laziness, all you need are smart home devices and a little ...

The human environment is increasingly controlled by environmental sensors, which represent the true sentinels of the world. They allow us to monitor and measure the different physical properties of ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

While sensors and low power actuators occupy the lowliest level of an automation system, they often require a disproportionate amount of time and attention. Historically, each sensor added entailed ...

Do you need a full-frame camera or is an APS-C good enough? We explore the key differences and pros and cons of each. The post APS-C vs full-frame – which sensor size is best, and why it matters ...
