In this video I'm building an Arduino Heart Rate Monitor that is housed in a toy handle in the style of the Star Trek Tricoder. The device uses the PulseSensor with an Arduino Pro Mini and an OLED ...

After decades of intense research, surprises in the realm of semiconductors—materials used in microchips to control ...

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much simpler to make. The scientists hope the breakthrough could lead to cheaper ...

A wireless sensor the size of a paperclip, Abbott's CardioMEMS HF, can be used routinely by the NHS to monitor patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in their own homes, according to NICE. The ...

Inspired by the infrared sensory organs of snakes, which allow them to detect prey in complete darkness, researchers at UNIST have harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a sensor material ...

Whether you're searing steaks in a cast-iron skillet, calibrating a pizza oven, or checking the temperature on HVAC equipment, a reliable infrared thermometer is a necessity not only for accuracy but ...

If you live with arthritis or chronic joint pain, you do not need a reminder of what it feels like. You feel it climbing stairs. You feel it getting out of bed. You feel it while carrying groceries, ...

Have you ever stood in front of your gym's sauna, wondering which type would actually help you feel better? You're looking at options for your own home now, and the choice matters more than you might ...

I’ve been working with computers for ages, starting with a multi-year stint in purchasing for a major IBM reseller in New York City before eventually landing at PCMag (back when it was still in print ...

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to enhance cell function and promote rejuvenation, with potential benefits for skin, inflammation, and pain. While generally considered safe, red ...
