  • Reduced risk of hydrogen sparking with sensitive optical leak detector

    The device delivers the fastest response ever reported at the critical hydrogen concentration required for leak detection.

  • Capturing coronavirus with nanotraps

    Nanoparticles trap SARS-CoV-2 viruses inside the body and use the body’s immune system to inactivate them.

  • Video: Diagnostic quickly detects COVID variants

    The assay returns results in 30 minutes and could be useful for rapid testing performed by non-specialists.

  • Video: Mini-microscope peers at brain activity

    The instrument was tested with mice, which have similar brain structures and connectivity properties as humans.

  • Watch how AI, microfluidics combine to detect vascular diseases

    The system could be used to assess diseases characterized by the abnormal condition of blood vessels.

  • Watch: Cystic fibrosis diagnosis by skin-worn sticker

    The wearable device changes color to detect early disease markers in newborns’ sweat.

  • Scientists determine the cause of failure in lithium-metal batteries

    The primary cause: liquid electrolyte depletion.

  • Faster observation of fluctuations in ‘stickiness' improves pharmaceuticals manufacture

    Faster measurement of viscosity will benefit disease diagnostics and pharmaceutical testing.

  • Tiny earthquakes in Antarctica measured with fiber optic cable

    Microseismic events are measured with distributed acoustic sensing methods.

  • Solutions for your precise temperature and humidity applications

  • Applying modern accelerated reliability to today's automotive market

    Discover one of the most modern, efficient and effective methods for testing automotive reliability and robustness.

  • Following mask mandates and social distancing is the best way to end a pandemic

    Previous studies have focused on either wearing masks or social distancing, but the combined effectiveness of both has not been precisely measured, until now.

  • Student-designed pump cuts diagnostic microfluidics cost

    Plans for the low cost, 3D-printed peristaltic pump are open source.

  • Team takes ozone measurement out of the lab and into a home

    Levels of ozone and volatile organic compounds were measured in an actual occupied residence.

  • Video: New data storage medium is potentially faster, more energy-efficient

    The medium is based on specific properties of antiferromagnetic materials that had previously resisted experimental examination.

  • Handheld DNA sequencers could simplify bacteria monitoring during food production

    The devices offer a routine microbial monitoring solution for food production facilities.

  • Bacteria help plants grow without fertilizer

    Even weak varieties of maize grew big and strong when grown in soil with added bacteria.

  • Dairy research lab aims to create more efficient cheese production

    The goal was to produce more cheese using less milk.

  • AI detects defects in wind turbine blades

    The deep learning system is 85% accurate in detecting and classifying wind turbine blade defects.
