An open question was if such components that occur in nature can be combined arbitrarily like Lego bricks in order to develop novel sensors. (sciencedaily.com)
Fenced - in areas, such as airports, nuclear power stations, industrial sites, or private plots of land, can now be monitored thanks to novel sensor technology that has been developed by a team of experimental physicists, led by Professor Uwe Hartmann at Saarland University. (sciencedaily.com)
The group used novel sensors that stick like barnacles to the sea floor — allowing them to survive Ivan's fury — to measure wave height by monitoring water pressure. (newscientist.com)
