You’ve seen the images: floating islands of plastic in the ocean, marine life entangled in nets and lines. Whether in the ocean or on land, plastic pollutants—and their effects—are often visible. But ...

Researchers have developed a new sensor that could allow practical and low-cost detection of low concentrations of methane gas. Measuring methane emissions and leaks is important to a variety of ...

Methane from agricultural and industrial sources represents a significant issue in climate change, since although not as abundant as carbon dioxide the hydrocarbon is known to be a more potent ...

Each year, the U.S. energy industry loses an estimated 3% of its natural gas production, valued at $1 billion in revenue, to leaky infrastructure. Escaping invisibly into the air, these methane gas ...

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) waveguide photonics and sensing represent a rapidly evolving field at the interface of material science, engineering and analytical chemistry. This technology exploits the strong ...
