Buildings are evolving into sophisticated networks of electric and electronic systems to help reach net-zero climate change goals. Figure 1 illustrates the categories of electrical and electronic ...

Researchers have developed a new laser-based system that offers an efficient and low-cost way to detect fires in challenging environments such as industrial facilities or large construction sites.

Fig 1. Fires follow a progression from start to full involvement, with both temperature and smoke content rising rapidly once full combustion is underway. Fig 2. Traditional optical smoke detectors ...
