Many industries operate in hazardous environments. From oil and gas mining, refineries, and utilities, to food production, shipping and construction, exposure to harmful gases is common and there is a host of reasons for wanting to monitor colourless gases, as Umicore writes.
IoT sensors monitor sewage
Better protection of sewage infrastructure is the intended result of recent investment in Scottish Water's intelligent asset base, according to the utility.
Publicly accessible, hyper-local air quality sensor network launches in Camden
A seemingly ground-breaking street-level, real-time air quality sensor network has launched in Camden, presented by air quality specialist AirScape as a bid "to fundamentally...
Project sets out to create compostable crop sensors
An international research collaboration is setting out to find new ways of monitoring crop growth with biodegradable sensors which can be composted at the...
New machine claimed to offer advances in sensor-based aluminium sorting
TOMRA's x-ray transmission (XRT) technology "combines innovative synergies in metal and diamond recovery, once again setting new standards in sensor-based aluminium sorting", says the...
Narrow-beam-width level sensor is simple to install
Presenting itself as a leader in hydrology and meteorology, Geolux has launched a new and improved version of contactless radar for measuring water level.

Sponsored content: 80GHz radar level sensors are compact and low cost
VEGA introduces the latest FMCW 80 GHz non-contact radar level technology for the water industry – using their very own radar level microchip, to deliver excellent performance and a low price that represents a real alternative to ultrasonic level sensors
Solvent sensor to boost safety
No technology currently exists to perform a real-time, automatic check in fuel tanks for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – chemicals that evaporate quickly at room temperature. Technologies that are generally used to monitor these chemicals currently use electronic sensors that need to be heated past 150 degrees
Gas sensor technology heads to Mars on board NASA’s Perseverance rover
An international collaboration is taking technology from gas measurement expert Vaisala and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) to Mars onboard NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance...
Making sense of sensor arrays
Research at Oregon State University is working towards the development of an electronic "nose" capable of monitoring air quality, detecting safety threats, and measuring gases in a patient's breath.
Group demonstrates concept for cheap, sensitive NO2 sensors based on graphene
Putative "wonder material" graphene is starting to show up in novel approaches to the design of air quality sensors, the latest being a demonstration concept announced by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in December.
First all-metamaterial optical gas sensor
The possibility of smaller, more power-efficient and simpler non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors has been announced by Swiss researchers
Sorex Sensors launch first dust sensor based on film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) technology
