For their size and impact, hurricanes are often called the greatest storms on Earth. They expend a tremendous amount of energy through the water cycle, and through wind, to maintain the balance of the atmosphere. Known by different names...

From treetops to rivers to the bedrock below, there is constant activity going on in what we can think of as the “skin” of our planet. It’s called the critical zone, the active layer of the Earth where life-forms, from microbes to...

Inside a cylinder that is about the size of a roll of paper towels lives a circuit board filled with sensors. It's called a dropsonde, or ""sonde"" for short. It's a work horse of hurricane forecasting, dropping out of ""Hurricane...

The goal of this research is to determine the mechanisms underlying predatory and defensive behavior guided by an extraordinarily novel sensor in snakes. Pit vipers, pythons and boas possess special organs that form images in the brain...

Pamela Emch is an engineering fellow with Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, CA. Her work is at the forefront of developing new technologies to answer some of our biggest questions about both Earth and space. Pam offers inspiration and...

WIRELESS NETWORK STORY: CALLING FOR HELP MAY SOON GET A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR THE ELDERLY. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH HAVE DEVELOPED A NETWORK OF WIRELESS SENSORS THAT CAN DETECT A PERSON FALLING. THIS MONITORING...

In this video, retired detective Colin McLaren discusses with Eve Ash how workplaces can be sitting ducks for crimes such as theft, dishonesty and cyberattacks. He advocates ramping up security, investing in the right...

In episode 66, Charlie and Jordan talk about a new sensor that could help anesthesiologists better place needles for epidurals and other medical procedures. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology designed and tested...

Scientists and engineers installed a new component in the core of the ATLAS detector--one of two general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider. This new component, called the Insertable B-Layer, sits merely centimeters from...

Mehdi Kalantari Khandani at the University of Maryland has created a sensor system that constantly monitors different types of stresses on bridge structures and, when it detects anything unusual, alerts those who need to know.

Computer Vision Basics: Part 1: Humans vs. Computers Vision system

Opening up opportunities for the world’s unbanked, developing packaging that disposes of itself and sensing health signals hidden in our sweat. Plus, Michael and Anthony discover how artificial intelligence is making it easier to learn...

In this week’s episode, we test a new breed of drones that can navigate without GPS; we explore changing terrain with shapeshifting autonomous robots, and finally, we examine a new 3D bioprinting technique that could someday create...

Tatiana Vinogradova is a senior research scientist at Northrop Grumman Space Systems in Redondo Beach, CA, where she studies the Arctic from space. Discover more about Tatiana’s inspiration and her day to day work using different types...

Want to do multiple thing with Arduino? Then master the Arduino millis function!

Hello, I hope you’re doing fantastic. In this series, we’ve been talking about using the Arduino millis function to create...

Electronic memory chips may soon gain the ability to bend and twist as a result of work by engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

In recent years, the number and scale of wildfires in the U.S. has risen, threatening cities and forests and forcing large-scale evacuations. NSF is supporting the WIFIRE initiative, led jointly by UC San Diego and the University of...

This project envisions a future where 3-D robotic systems can be produced and designed using 2-D desktop technology fabrication methods. If this feat is achieved, it would be possible for the average person to design, customize and print...

Network infrastructure and host and application logs can be stored centrally such as with Linux or Windows log forwarding. This can then be fed into a centralized log ingestion and analysis system, otherwise called SIEM.
