Cozin is a new kind of sensor which can be installed in homes and can detect dangerous levels of carbon dioxide in the air. The sensors can be set up in networks and warn through wearables, toys or other ways.

Om Podcasten

Et par ganger i måneden snakker vi med en forsker om et tema de kan inn og ut. I noen episoder vil du høre om nye forskningsfunn, mens i andre vil du høre en mer overordnet samtale om et tema. Felles for alle episodene er at gjestene våre har en kunnskaps- og forskningsbasert tilnærming til spørsmålene vi tar opp.
