"Smart Dew"
Just a piece of technology news...
This is from the American Friends Tel Aviv University website:
"Each individual 'dew droplet' can detect an intrusion within a parameter of 50 meters (about 165 feet). And at a cost of 25 cents per 'droplet,' Prof. Shapira says that his solution is the cheapest and the smartest on the market.
A part of the appeal of Smart Dew is its near-invisibility, Prof. Shapira says. 'Smart Dew is a covert monitoring system. Because the sensors in the Smart Dew wireless network are so small, you would need bionic vision to notice them. There would be so many tiny droplets over the monitored area that it would be impossible to find each and every one.'"
