Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 are postulated as major trends of this time. RFID and sensor technologies represent proven technology fields which are developing jointly as strong catalysts in the ...

Quantum sensors use quantum phenomena to enable highly sensitive measurements of many physical properties. Quantum sensors can measure time (atomic clocks), magnetic field and current, gravity, ...

Technology observers have been touting the coming proliferation of wireless sensors that will report all sorts of data about the stuff to which they are attached. Now researchers from Accenture say ...

The Auto-ID Lab at MIT has developed ultra-high-frequency (UHF) RFID tag-sensor configuration that senses spikes in glucose and wirelessly transmits this information. Currently, RFID tags are ...

A novel idea of integrating a sensor into a passive RFID (radio frequency identification) tag made it possible to do away with batteries and wiring. Using a handheld or fixed RFID reader, the tag ...

At the EPCglobal U.S. Conference in Baltimore, M.D., in September, some 1,000 executives gathered to discuss how RFID technology will radically change the way businesses gain value from information ...

Timing of Olympic races has not always been sophisticated. On April 10, 1896, some 17 runners competed in the very first Olympic marathon. The course ran approximately 40 km, and of the athletes ...
