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

New Polymer Cleans Up Water and Fish, One Endocrine Disruptor at a Time

November 19, 2024

Imagine having a super-efficient sponge that can soak up tiny, harmful chemicals from water and even fish. That's basically what scientists have created with a new polymer. This polymer, made from a substance called 4-pyridinemethanol, is like a tiny, porous magnet for troublesome chemicals. These
