Super Thermal Insulation Material for Heat Insulation Applications

Thermal insulation holds a prominent place in our modern world, providing a way to reduce energy consumption and promote a healthier lifestyle. Unlike traditional insulation materials, which tend to be bulky, thick, and heavy, a new generation of superthermal insulation materials or fillers is emerging. These innovative materials are lightweight, highly efficient, and capable of withstanding various weather conditions.

Plant Foliage Health Monitor

This project uses the AS7263 NIR (near infrared) spectrometer sensor and the Raspberry Pi 4B board to assess plant foliage health. It explains how to uses the sensor’s channel readings and the standard Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) equation to calculate an estimated NDVI value. Also prints the value and a “HEALTHY” or “UNHEALTHY” statement,
