Graphene-Based Nanosensors for Toxic Gases
CSIRO scientists have developed new nanosensors capable of detecting very low concentrations of toxic gases such as ammonia and nitrogen dioxide, which can be reset using water molecules or ethanol.
New optical sensor can detect individual nanoscale objects
Special polydimethylsiloxane-coated deformed microcavity acts as an optical “whispering gallery”.
Book Review: Biosensor Nanomaterials
Biosensor nanomaterials, edited by Songjun Li, Jagdish Singh, He Li, and Ipsita A. Banerjee, reviewed by Professor Luisa Torsi from the University of Bari.
One-dimensional wires with suppressed conductivity
Researchers create perfect one-dimensional molecular wires in which the electrical conductivity can almost entirely be suppressed by a weak magnetic field
Super-sensitive light sensor from molybdenite
An EPFL team has built a prototype for an image sensor based on the semi-conducting properties of molybdenite.
Developing a high-temperature AFM
New hydrothermal atomic force microscope under development at Wright could hit 250 degrees.
Gold nanoparticles and urine detect mercury
A colorimetric assay system based on urine and nanoparticles for mercury detection has been developed by researchers from Nanyang Technological University.
LANL and Tribogenics produce lightweight, low-cost X-ray system
Handheld X-ray camera could provide real-time inspection of sealed containers and facilities.
Plasmonic transducer can measure motion on the nanoscale
Researchers confine plasmons in a resonant cavity only 20 nanometers wide to precisely measure mechanical motion smaller than the size of an atom.
