Scientists at Bath, have introduced a breakthrough carbon-based sensor for detecting lactic acid levels in saliva—avoiding the need for an electrical power source. The researchers, working in ...

Using optogenetics, researchers have detected a new acid sensor in plant cells that is addressing a cell-internal calcium store. When plants are infected by pathogens, suffer from a lack of water or ...

Acid rain sucks, particularly if you run a fancy university with lots of lovely statues outside. If you’d like to try and predict when it’s going to occur, you might like this project from [Mohammad ...

Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering have created new noninvasive, wearable sensors that monitor levels of uric acid in human sweat. A paper about the research has been published ...

Fluorescent boronic acid-based sensors exploit the reversible covalent interaction between boronic acid moieties and vicinal diols, a structural motif ubiquitous in saccharides. Upon formation of a ...

Microneedle nanosensor patches detect fusaric acid in living plants, revealing fungal infection before visible symptoms ...

Climate change is causing increased flooding and prolonged waterlogging in northern Europe, but also in many other parts of the world. This can damage meadow grasses, field crops or other plants - ...
