Soil is often perceived simply as "dirt," but in reality, it is a dynamic, living system that acts as Earth's natural sponge. Unfortunately, common agricultural practices—including deep plowing and ...

Capacitive displacement sensors turn tiny gaps into actionable signals. By measuring changes in capacitance as target moves, these devices deliver precise, non-contact readings of position and motion.

This industry-driven paper presents the development of a novel multiband soil sensor capable of simultaneously measuring volumetric water content (VWC) and potassium content, which serves as an ...

Plants do not just grow—they signal. From the subtle moisture shifts in soil to the faint electrical rhythms coursing through leaves and stems, botanical sensors are turning greenery into living data ...

Leveraging tools from seismology — the study of earthquakes and the inside of our planet — the Earth Rover Program aims to provide critical data on the health of soil. Humans, and terrestrial life in ...

For centuries, agriculture has relied on three essential assets: land, water and seed. In the 2020s, however, a fourth asset has become equally critical: data. I have spent much of the past year ...

CU Boulder Today—A team of University of Colorado Boulder researchers is making reliable, inexpensive and easy-to-deploy sensors that monitor soil in real time as it, essentially, breathes in and out.
