While expanding nuclear energy production would provide carbon-free power and can help countries around the world meet their climate goals, nuclear energy could also come with some inherent risk.

The American Chemical Society developed an innovative plant detector that empowers farmers and home gardeners by helping them detect when their plants are stressed—early. ACS researchers are committed ...

For the first time, researchers from SMART have engineered a living plant-based sensor for the detection of arsenic in the belowground environment New class of living plant-based sensor interfaces ...

RALEIGH – Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a patch that plants can “wear” to monitor continuously for plant diseases or other stresses, such as crop damage or extreme ...

Researchers from the Disruptive and Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, the research arm of MIT in Singapore, have created a ...

Around 700 million people worldwide still face food shortages. To address the rising threat of population growth, cultivated land reduction and environmental degradation, there is an urgent need to ...

Walking through most process plants or remote facilities, an observer will encounter a sizeable collection of temperature and pressure instruments. Without knowledge of the two critical parameters of ...

Croatian engineers [Slaven Damjanovic] and [Marko Čalić] have developed a wireless system for farmers to monitor plant conditions and weather along their agricultural fields. The system uses an RFM95W ...

The monitoring systems used today in hydropower plants are based on a number of sensors that are directly mounted to the machines. The monitoring systems generate alarms if certain threshold values ...

Researchers have developed -- for the first time -- a novel type of plant nanobionic optical sensor that can, in real-time, detect and monitor arsenic levels in the belowground environment, with ...
