A nanomechanical sensor once limited to the lab can now detect ultrafine airborne particles, closing a key gap in pollution monitoring and climate science.

Recent outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (also known as bird flu) have created a need for rapid and sensitive detection methods to mitigate its spread. Now, researchers in ACS Sensors ...

Large pieces of plastic can break down into nanosized particles that often find their way into the soil and water. But they also float in the air, where their presence is less understood. As a step ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific is rolling out a new device designed to monitor rooms for airborne viruses, including the coronavirus behind COVID-19. The company said its AerosolSense Sampler is designed to ...

The highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza, better known as bird flu, has resulted in the deaths of millions of chickens – sending egg prices soaring – and even infected some other farm animals. In an ...

In recent years, advances in photonics and materials science have led to remarkable developments in sensor technology, pushing the boundaries of what can be detected and measured. Among these ...

CHICAGO, Aug. 23, 2022 — Large pieces of plastic can break down into nanosized particles that often find their way into the soil and water. Perhaps less well known is that they can also float in the ...
