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 ...

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 ...

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

An Emory University study is chronicling the heat, humidity and air pollution Atlantans are encountering in their daily lives.

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 ...

SAN ANTONIO – A UTSA and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) partnership will soon study and measure “felt heat” on the West Side. The partnership is led by Stuart Stothoff, a principal scientist with ...

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 ...

Denver Public Schools now have the ability to measure or track things like temperature, mold levels, and other air pollutants ...

It turns out that the familiar ground-shaking is only a small portion (10%) of the total energy released. While a tiny ...
