When the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored Omar Yaghi—the "father of metal-organic frameworks," or MOFs—along with Susumu ...

When an MOF takes in gas or liquid molecules, its tiny framework changes ever so slightly: It may change in size, how it bends light, or how it conducts electricity, depending on what and how many ...

They linger in our water, our blood, and the environment—"forever chemicals" that are notoriously difficult to detect. But researchers at the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering ...

Curious about how cadence sensors work and how to use them effectively? This hands-on guide breaks down the basics of cadence sensing—from the core principles behind pedal rotation tracking to ...

The installation of powerful seismic sensors in Yellowstone National Park over the past four years to track the area’s sleeping volcano has incidentally provided insight into rhythmic wave events on ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of wearable sensor that can detect signs of eye disease—without drawing blood or using expensive lab equipment. Instead, it’s a soft, non-invasive patch placed ...

A team of Johns Hopkins engineers has developed a new, more powerful method to observe molecular vibrations, an advance that could have far-reaching implications for early disease detection. The team, ...

Varro Life Sciences CEO Tom Cirrito speaks Thursday, Aug. 21, 2025, during a ribbon-cutting event for the biotech firm, which is developing sensors that can detect airborne pathogens and moved to St.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Two UTK professors partnered with CFD Research Corporation to create a device that uses biomarkers in the blood to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder. The device can also ...

Two UT professors created a device that uses biomarkers in the blood to detect PTSD and other conditions like bovine tuberculosis and human influenza. D.C. residents drive law enforcement out of ...

Imagine a battlefield covered in thousands of hidden, matchbox-sized sensors, detecting movement, loud noises or fire–even signs of the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. Once something ...
