Perovskite nanomaterials, typified by the ABX₃ crystal structure of metal halide perovskites, have emerged as a versatile platform for chemical sensing across gases, ions and vapours. Their strong ...

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. — NASA recently tested the first nanotechnology-based electronic device to fly in space. The test showed that the “nanosensor” could monitor trace gases inside a spaceship. This ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made "forever chemicals." They're often used in nonstick cookware, stain- and water-resistant fabrics, and firefighting foams. When they ...

MIT researchers created a nanosensor catheter that detects bladder cancer biomarkers far earlier than current tests.

Modern wearable sensors equipped with nanomaterials and nano-additives are more efficient, sensitive, and accurate than conventional healthcare sensing mechanisms. 1 The incorporation of ...
