The "internet of things," a growing web of interconnected devices—constituting everything from smart bulbs to warehouse robots—is posited as a central pillar of the "fourth industrial revolution" ...

One of the biggest challenges for wireless sensor networks is that of power. Solar panels usually produce less power than you hoped, especially small ones, and designing super low power circuits is ...

For many IoT applications, such as those installed outdoors, wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) can be powered using solar technology. In the presence of light, the system is powered by the solar source, ...

Experts at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS in Dresden have been developing compact, customer-customized sensor transponders for diverse industrial applications for years.

Data dissemination is the process by which queries or data are routed in the sensor network. The data collected by sensor nodes has to be communicated to the BS or to any other node interested in the ...

Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as ...

Researchers at Northwestern University is moving the goalposts on how small you can make a tiny flying object down to 0.5 mm, effectively creating flying microchips. Although “falling with style” is ...
