"IEEE Sensors Alert" is a pilot project of the IEEE Sensors Council. Started as one of its new initiatives, this weekly digest publishes teasers and condensed versions of our journal papers in layperson's language.
Early detection of plant diseases can prevent crop failure. The Leaf wetness duration (LWD) that leads to fungal infections is a major concern among farmers. Using LWD as a parameter, researchers developed disease detection models with an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled leaf wetness sensor (LWS) prototype fabricated on flexible substrates. Researchers tested the prototypes on medicinal plants. The prototype made comparatively accurate, precise, and early disease predictions.
The integrated circuits are known for high circuit densities that raise concerns for thermal, mechanical and low-cost packaging material induced stresses. All these put together either cause the chip to fail or perform against the design. Study of such stresses is mandatory before rolling out the chips from a Fab lab. Silicon Piezoresistive Stress Sensors have shown great potential for understanding and detecting stress distributions in electronic packages. It eventually helps in calibrating the IC parameters, selecting wafer planes and packaging materials, etc.
