One in twelve children are born prematurely in Switzerland. If hypoglycemia develops in these premature babies and persists for over an hour, it can affect brain development. In order to prevent this, the babies' blood sugar levels need to be measured at regular intervals, which, until now, inevitably meant taking blood samples.
Every odour has its own specific pattern which our noses are able to identify. Using a combination of proteins coupled to transistors, for the first time machines are able to differentiate smells that are mirror images of each other, so called chiral molecules, something that has not been possible before.
What if a solider could test for explosive residue on a suspect’s hand in the middle of a warzone with a simple hand-held sensor? Or health care providers could get quick information about a patient’s movement abilities with simple technology in the bottom of a shoe? Or if graphene —a one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms that many experts believe will transform electronic technology in coming decades —could be mass produced?
A technology developed at North Dakota State University, Fargo, creates precise in-the-ground measurement and monitoring of soil and crop conditions which could provide opportunities for greater yields. The technology also has led to a new start-up company. The c2sensor corp., based in the NDSU Technology Incubator, has concluded a license agreement with the NDSU Research Foundation (NDSU/RF) for the precision agriculture technology.
MIT chemists have devised a new way to wirelessly detect hazardous gases and environmental pollutants, using a simple sensor that can be read by a smartphone.
Kromek Group plc (“Kromek” or the “Company”), a radiation detection technology company focusing on the medical, security and nuclear markets, is pleased to announce that it will be showcasing two new solutions for aviation security at this year’s Transport Security Expo (“Transec”), taking place from 2-3 December 2014 at the Olympia exhibition centre:
ReportsnReports.com adds Global Chemical Sensors Market 2015-2019 research report (available starting Dec 3, 2014) and offers U.S. Chemical Sensors to 2017 market research report in the chemicals industry intelligence collection of its online library.
Implant Sciences Corporation, a leading manufacturer of explosives trace detection (ETD) and drugs trace detection solutions for homeland security applications, today announced the Company has won a competitive contract for 18 QS-H150s to be shipped to a county in the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa).
An electronic "tongue" could one day sample food and drinks as a quality check before they hit store shelves. Or it could someday monitor water for pollutants or test blood for signs of disease. With an eye toward these applications, scientists are reporting the development of a new, inexpensive and highly sensitive version of such a device in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
Joe Stetter, President and CTO of SPEC Sensors presents in the Printed Sensors and Actuators Masterclass at IDTechEx on Friday November 21st. He will be explaining the various techniques for chemical gas sensing and describing his journey to Screen Printable ElectroChemical (SPEC) sensors as the best approach to the easily scalable low-cost production of high-performance, small, ultra-low power consuming gas sensors.
