Making Air Safer: New Ways to Detect Ammonia with Smart Materials

May 5, 2026

Detecting ammonia isn’t just about avoiding bad smells—it’s about safety. This gas can harm workers in factories, pollute the environment, and linger in poorly ventilated spaces. Traditional sensors often struggle because they either pick up ammonia too slowly or take too long to reset. A new approa

COFs: The Game Changers in Ammonia Detection

February 16, 2025

Covalent-organic frameworks, or COFs, are like the superheroes of the materials world. These materials are designed with specific molecular structures to perform amazing tasks, like detecting tiny amounts of ammonia (NH3) at room temperature. Imagine two COFs, β-keto-AnCOF and imine-AnCOF, which hav

Discovering BODIPY-based Sensors: A New Trend in Ammonia and Temperature Detection

November 17, 2024

Imagine tiny polymer particles filled with special dyes, called BODIPYs, that can change color and brightness based on temperature and ammonia levels. Scientists made four types of these BODIPYs and mixed them into two kinds of polymers: PMMA and TPU. They created films and tiny particles (micropart
