Jessica Droujko loves rivers. In order to better protect them, she founded the start-up Riverkin, which uses a special sensor to measure the health of bodies of water.

Are we really breathing clean air when we sit in our garden or local park? The portable measuring device AirBeam can answer this question—and thanks to its open-source data—also protects other people from the impact of air pollution.

Researchers in Zurich have developed sensors using sound waves, which could save 78 million batteries per year in the EU alone.

Modern sensors and data processing can make fishing more sustainable. However, new technologies such as SUSTUNTECH run the risk of having the opposite effect.

If wildfire can be caught early, they are much easier to tackle. Networked AI sensors are providing the tools to give fire crews a head start.

Humans have put a lot of obstacles in the way of fish wishing to migrate and spawn. A new 'Fitbit for Fish' will test just how stressful their journeys are.

Setting up sensor networks can be expensive and time consuming. A new project from the University of Washington has turned to nature for solutions.

The air in our cities is polluted. With sensors, citizens can collect measurements, allowing them to uncover sources and build up political pressure.

Agri-tech researchers have taken inspiration from medical science to create microneedles that monitor the health of crops.
