DIY COVID-19 testing kit research receives NSF grant

This sensor can be buried to continuously measure water tension in soil, a reading that can be related to soil water content. It's part of a cyber-physical agriculture system being developed by researchers at Iowa State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Courtesy: Liang Dong, Iowa State University
