Few home problems are as insidious as hidden water leaks: It's easy to miss them until there's widespread damage, and after-effects can include pricey mold problems. That's why I'm so glad there's a ...

Toxic metals like lead and cadmium are dangerous water contaminants. The team combined nanomechanical microcantilevers with synthetic biology biosensors to create an ultrasensitive platform that ...

A water-leak detector is a relatively inexpensive device that alerts you to—you guessed it—a leak in your home. Similar to smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, the most basic options cost $50 ...

Environmental contaminants like fluoride, lead, and pesticides exist all around and even within us. While researchers have simple ways to measure concentrations of such contaminants inside lab ...

Water distribution networks (WDNs) are critical infrastructures that require rigorous management to reduce water loss and maintain service quality. Leak detection and management in these networks not ...

Acting Managing Director, Martin Nang’ole, says the specialised vehicles will enhance the company’s ability to detect hidden leaks, monitor water usage, and respond more quickly to faults, thereby ...

We are probably all guilty of using too much water. However, most water wastage happens prior to the precious resource entering our homes. That is because national pipe networks are riddled with leaks ...

(FOX 5/KUSI) — A sensor on the International Space Station that helps map minerals was able to help track water contaminants off the San Diego coast. According to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, ...

An autonomous robotic system detects toxic heavy metals in water using self-powered nanosensors and ambient heat, enabling safe, real-time environmental monitoring without external power or manual ...

The Naperville City Council has OK’d the procurement of hundreds of sensors that, once installed, will help the water utility detect system leaks faster and with more accuracy than current ...
