According to a new study published in Nature, researchers at the University of Washington have developed small, wireless sensors that can travel on the wind, much like dandelion seeds can. Researchers ...

Tiny sensors with a design inspired by dandelion seeds could be scattered to the winds to help track key indicators of climate change and global warming. As the climate crisis continues to intensify, ...

These tools could provide unique insights for a variety of applications, including digital agriculture and monitoring climate change. One problem, however, is that it is currently time-consuming and ...

Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient. The system is based on millimeter-wave radar technology, which are short-range radar sensors that, as the name ...

Blowing dandelion seeds into the wind isn't just a pretty little way for kids (and adults) to waste away a warm afternoon outside. They’re also an exceptionally effective way for certain species of ...
