Over the last few decades, wearable electronics have become more common. While one major benefit of these wearable sensors is the low level of user discomfort, another important aspect is the scope ...

In a new study, researchers describe a novel approach for a wireless communication network that can efficiently transmit, receive and decode data from thousands of microelectronic chips that are each ...

Sensors networks are gaining widespread use in factories, industrial complexes, commercial and residential buildings, agricultural settings, and urban areas, serving to improve manufacturing ...

Consider a smart home display that uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth mesh and local voice recognition. The embedded processor manages the wireless protocols, runs the voice model and powers the user interface.

They may be modules. Or motes. Or even smart dust. Whatever the form, wireless “sensor nets” will make a heavy imprint on the industry. Rapid-fire advances in "sensor nets"—wireless sensor modules ...

Future products will supplement these with energy-harvesting technologies such as solar cells or piezoelectric generators driven by vibration. In the longer term, “nuclear” batteries that use direct ...

In the real world, we have buildings, lamp posts, the breeze. In the virtual one, there's an amount of data from devices like cellular phones, video games and surveillance cameras. To Ashok Sukumaran, ...
