Smallest Earthquake Sensor For Autonomous IoT Systems Omron has claimed the world’s smallest seismic sensor (9.8 x 10.9mm) designed to make systems safer and minimise the risk of secondary damage after earthquakes by safely shutting off and stopping hazardous devices. The D7S sensor can also help determine damage by mapping seismic intensity and providing building collapse information. Designed for autonomous IoT systems, the compact D7S…
Indian chemical plant discovers how to turn its carbon emissions into baking soda A groundbreaking discovery has been made in southern India amidst the race to convert CO2 emissions into useful products. At a chemical plant in India, a new system has become the very first in the world to capture carbon emissions and convert them into baking soda. The Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals plant, in the…

The Asian nation is spending big in the hope of winning a Nobel prize, but it will need more than cash to realize its ambitions. Behind the doors of a drab brick building in Daejeon, South Korea, a major experiment is slowly taking shape. Much of the first-floor lab space is under construction, and one glass door, taped shut, leads directly to a pit in…
ORIGAMI GOES HIGH-TECH FOR POTENTIAL MILITARY APPLICATIONS Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the University of Tokyo have taken a keen interest in origami, which they believe may soon provide a foundation for antennas that can reconfigure themselves to operate at different frequencies, microfluidic devices whose properties can change in operation, and possibly heating and air-conditioning ductwork…
