Good News Time
Posted by Dana Blankenhorn
Here's a nice Always-On application, found (once again) by Roland Piquepaille. British scientists have embedded a sensor network inside a Norwegian glacier so they can learn how it evolves.
The sensors are quite small (this one, from Piquepaille's site, is magnified). Installation is as easy as tossing them about. Such sensors configure their own network. (Here's the experiment's official site.)
Today's science is going to be tomorrow's application, once an engineer and a salesman get together in an airport, write a business plan, and then take a meeting with a venture capitalist.
