Researchers have developed the first fully-integrated, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor enabled by specially engineered synthetic materials known as metamaterials. The sensor has no moving ...

We investigate the modification of the optical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) resulting from a chemical reaction triggered by the presence of a specific compound (gaseous carbon dioxide (CO 2)) ...

Using microscopic polymer light resonators that expand in the presence of specific gases, researchers have developed new optical sensors with predicted detection levels in the parts-per-billion range.

At some time or another, we’ve all had an idea we thought was so clever that we jumped on the Internet to see if somebody else had already come up with it. Most of the time, they have. But on the off ...

Although we're constantly surrounded by it, the air around us often holds plenty of substances to which we're completely oblivious. And while information about the air around us can be critical for ...

WASHINGTON D.C., June 17, 2014 – Using microscopic polymer light resonators that expand in the presence of specific gases, researchers at MIT's Quantum Photonics Laboratory have developed new optical ...

Air bubble sensors are used to detect air or gas bubbles in flexible clear plastic tubes. They are intended to prevent air infusions. The air bubble sensor has no contact with the liquid and is ...
