Artificial enzyme mimics the natural detoxification mechanism in liver cells

Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) in Germany have discovered that molybdenum trioxide nanoparticles oxidize sulfite to sulfate in liver…

Optical pH value sensor

The novel pH value sensor works according to an optical electrochemical principle and comprises a photoluminescent or fluorescent layer, a light source and a detector. The layer comprises an electric potential and acts as a working electrode which is implemented as a nanostructure (nanowires with quantum dots). Furthermore, spatial resolution can be achieved by using numerous nanowires contacted individually on a carrier and a visual array detector (analogous to CCD sensors in digital cameras).
Other reactions or concentrations of substances can also be detected.

Optical gas sensor for the simultaneous detection of several gasses and fuel compositions, and the measurement of emissions.

Extinct undersea volcanoes squashed under Earth's crust cause tsunami earthquakes, according to new research

Tsunami earthquakes happen at relatively shallow depths in the ocean and are small in terms of their magnitude. However, they create very large tsunamis, with…

Packing Hundreds of Sensors into a Single Optical Fiber for use in Harsh Environments

By fusing together the concepts of active fiber sensors and high-temperature fiber sensors, a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh has created…

K computer grabs top spot in Graph 500 "Big Data" supercomputer ranking

The Graph 500 ranking is a relatively new benchmark, first issued in 2010, which seeks to gauge the ability of supercomputers on data-intensive loads rather…
