Liquid metals could be the long-awaited solution to 'greening' the chemical industry, according to researchers who tested a new technique they hope can replace energy-intensive chemical engineering processes harking back to the early 20th century.
Researchers developed an organic-inorganic hybrid semiconductor gas sensor, which demonstrated remarkable performance and durability. This relatively low-cost technology could pave the way to convenient gas sensing devices for applications such as industrial monitoring, air quality analysis, food safety, and even medical diagnosis.
Researchers have successfully shown that chicken eggwhite (albumen) can be a very effective gate dielectric for two-dimensional materials. This innovation brings to light new possibilities for sustainable and biodegradable technology in the world of optoelectronic devices.
