A research team led by Professor Huang Xingjiu at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Recent studies have revealed that cancers leave distinct chemical signatures in the body, which can be detected early on.

Scientists have made the first documented airborne detection of a toxic chemical pollutant known as Medium Chain Chlorinated Paraffins (MCCPs) in the Western Hemisphere. The findings, published in ACS ...

A new, low-cost chemical sensing chip brings us one step closer to this technology, which has long been on the wish list of police officers and others looking to monitor drug use and curb dangerous ...

A chemical sensing material has been developed whose electrical conductivity dramatically increases when exposed to toxic gases, report scientists. Researchers in Japan and US jointly developed a ...

Since it is a chemical sensor instead of being enzyme-based, the new technology is robust, has a long shelf-life and can be tuned to detect lower glucose concentrations than current systems.

UB researchers have reported an advancement of a chemical sensing chip that could lead to handheld devices that detect trace chemicals — everything from illicit drugs to pollution — as quickly as a ...

Products previously available for the detection of nerve and blister chemical agents range from simple units that use colorimetric techniques, wherein the presence of a chemical substance is ...

“Although the chemical structures [of the fatty acids] are really similar, this sensor can distinguish the differences,” Oh says. Those fatty-acids were selected because their presence is ...
