There’s a huge variety of ways that we can potentially generate all the power we need for tiny medical sensors or other devices with minimal power needs. But there’s often a big gap between those ...

Humans, microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi), and plants all react differently to dry ambient conditions. Microbes adapt quickly by shrinking down, forming thicker membranes, and becoming dormant.

The company applies an additional membrane to its low-cost wireless passive sensors to measure humidity conditions, then transmits that and other sensor data wirelessly from trucks, stores, or ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a humidity-tolerant hydrogen sensor that actually performs better as the humidity increases. This innovation addresses a major ...

The intent of an accelerated aging protocol is to predict and subsequently verify real-time aging behavior of a product and packaging system. A robust study is built on the foundation of prerequisite ...

Relative humidity is a simple concept as weather phenomena go – but it has significant, far-reaching consequences for how we must take care of ourselves on a hot or wet day. Humidity is the amount of ...
