  1. "“The first thing is to detect an event through sensors and share that information across borders,” he said. “If we can install sensors extensively in the mountains and receive information as soon as an event occurs, we can give people downstream enough time to move to safety.”

  2. "It can be hard to feel if clothes are damp in wintry conditions, because both cold and wet things activate our cold receptors.

    Likewise, in hot weather it’s much easier to tell when our skin or clothes are damp, as evaporation leads to both local cooling and a slight change in pressure on the skin."

  3. "By reading the light reflected off the skin, the fingertip generates maps of topology, strain, and contact pressure. The team has already used the sensor to generate maps of a human fingertip, a penny, and a leaf."

  4. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Engineers at #PennState have developed a conductive #ink that works like face paint to create customizable electrodes for monitoring #heart, #muscle, and #brain activity.

    The #water-based ink dries on #skin within minutes, conforms closely for more accurate readings, and can be washed off and reapplied. In tests, the sensors tracked #ECG for 12 hours and fed muscle signals to a robotic #prosthetic.

  5. Long-term project complete!

    I have cleaned an #AncientCity of all the #sculk, #sensors, #shriekers and #wardens then restored all the buildings and lit it all up so mobs don’t spawn. I now have a playground and base in the deep dark of #Minecraft.

    It may look nice now … I should have saved a before shot that showed how badly ruined the city was before the restoration began.

    Very happy with final result

  6. Northeastern University: These ‘zero-power’ sensors could revolutionize consumer electronics. “Instead of relying on electricity, Zepsor’s sensors take advantage of infrared radiation — or heat — emitted from our bodies for power, explains Zhenyun Qian, a Northeastern University professor of electrical and computer engineering and the company’s chief technology officer.”
