Measuring temperature turns out to be a fundamental function for a huge number of devices. You furnace’s programmable thermostat and digital clocks are obvious examples. If you just needed to know if ...

Using a subtle physics phenomenon similar to—yet unlike—the well-known Seebeck effect, researchers have developed an accurate internal heat flux sensor. Why heat flux (flow) is an important thermal ...

DANBURY — New sensors, designed to gauge how hot the city feels for the people who live in it, have been installed near public housing complexes in Danbury. The heat sensors are part of a research ...

The graph at top shows TFX heat flux sensor data used to monitor resin flow and cure during an INNOTOOL 4.0 project trial employing the mold in Fig. 3 (RTM6 resin, 3.2-mm thickness). The project’s ...

Sensors at left (top to bottom): Heat flux (TFX), in-mold dielectric (Lambient), ultrasonic (Univ. of Augsburg), disposable dielectric (Synthesites) and microwire (AvPro) in between penny and ...

Tracking energy use is recognized as more and more important in today’s world. It makes perfect sense to see the proliferation of smart energy meters and programmable thermostats that emerged in ...

Explore how satellites measure CO₂ levels and their role in tracking heat absorption in Earth’s atmosphere. This video explains the science behind satellite sensors, how they detect infrared radiation ...
