#Iranian Scientists Use Gas Sensor to Detect Hydrogen Iranian researchers designed a sensor with the capability of rapidly detecting the amount of hydrogen existing in the environment.
This sensor can detect the leak of hydrogen in hazardous environment which can prevent the explosion.
Hydrogen sensors are convertors that create electrical signal by adsorbing hydrogen molecules, which depends on the concentration of the hydrogen.
In this research, a capacitor MOS sensor was produced that detects the leak of hydrogen at explosive level (4 vol. percent) in less than two minutes.
Capacitor sensors detect any change in the environment through changing the electrical capacity of the capacitor.
The advantages of these sensors over other types of sensors are stability long lifetime and low response time.
For instance, this sensor can be used in the monitoring of hydrogen concentration during the production of ammonia, methanol and hydration of hydrocarbons.
Among other applications of this sensor, mention can be made of desulfurization of petroleum products, production of jet fuel and launching of aircrafts and other aerospace applications.
This research also studies the effect of the thickness of oxide layers in the sensor structure on its properties and performance.
the sensor detects hydrogen in a shorter period of time as the thickness of oxide layer decreases.
Response time has been calculated to be 84 seconds for a capacitor sensor with oxide layer thickness of 28 nanometers.
Results of the research have been published in Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, vol. 216, issue 1, 2015, pp. 367-373 3

Low-cost pollution detectors to tackle air quality (w/video) Rush hour can be maddening. Roads congested with traffic,
With this in mind, Jonesteam, together with industrial partners and other universities, has been developing low-cost pollution detectors that are small enough to fit in your pocket,
stable enough to be installed as long-term static detectors around a city, and sensitive enough to detect small changes in air quality on a street-by-street basis. Their findings are now informing research projects aimed at improving air quality in major cities across Europe and North america.
The detectors are based on electrochemical sensors developed by project partner Alphasense for industrial safety where detection of toxic gases is needed at the parts-per-million level.
I had the confidence to believe that we could push our sensors to lower concentration levels,
and yet keep sensor costs low, says Dr John Saffell, Technical Director at Alphasense. The electrochemical devices the team developed can measure a wide range of pollutants,
They also discovered that sensor performance can create new opportunities. Jones and colleagues had to develop new smart software methods capable of separating local pollution events from background signals (pollution transported from long range)
and then to calibrate sensors across networks. Plus, they needed to move from being able to process the data after it has been collected to doing so in real-time.
For instance, sensors can be used to ask whether pollution along bus routes is improved by upgrading the exhaust processing on a bus fleet;
AQMESH uses Alphasense sensors to sample every 10 seconds, and data processing is carried out in real-time using cloud computing software similar to that developed by the Cambridge team. hen the project started in 2006 there were lone voices calling for a different approach to air quality monitoring,
and Alphasense helped us to understand the sensor full potential, and now we have a product that can be placed exactly where it needed

The sensor will enable doctors to identify tumor markers, whose presence in the body signals the emergence and growth of cancerous tumors.
according to its developers, the sensor can track changes of just a few kilodaltons in the mass of a cantilever in real time.
So the new optical sensor will allow for diagnosing diseases long before they can be detected by any other method,
So our goal was not only to achieve the high sensitivity of the sensor and make it compact,
Unlike similar devices, the new sensor has no complex junctions and can be produced through a standard CMOS process technology used in microelectronics.
The sensor doesn't have a single circuit and its design is very simple. It consists of two parts:
Calculations done by the researchers showed that the new sensor will combine high sensitivity with a comparative ease of production and miniature dimensions
One chip, several millimeters in size, will be able to accommodate several thousand such sensors, configured to detect different particles or molecules.
The price, thanks to the simplicity of the design, will most likely depend on the number of sensors,
