More efficient sensors to improve environmental sensing in the future

More efficient sensors are needed to be able to detect environmental pollution. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have proposed a new, sophisticated method of detecting molecules with sensors based on ultra-thin nanomaterials. The novel method could improve environmental sensing in the future. The results are published in the scientific journal Nature Communications. “This could Read more about More efficient sensors to improve environmental sensing in the future[…]

On-chip sensor capable of detecting unprecedentedly small frequency changes

Chip scale high precision measurements of physical quantities such as temperature, pressure and refractive index have become common with nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics resonance cavities. As excellent transducers to convert small variations in the local refractive index into measurable spectral shifts, resonance cavities are being used extensively in a variety of disciplines ranging from bio-sensing and Read more about On-chip sensor capable of detecting unprecedentedly small frequency changes[…]
