Researchers create a laser that can “smell” different gases

A laser can do many things, but Australian researchers have created one that can “sniff” out the faintest of odors from the air. An article in Science Daily detailed how the modified device can match the nose of a bloodhound when it comes to identifying different gases in a single sample. The University of Adelaide […]

New laser-based system can locate small methane leaks in an area of several square miles

Methane leaks in oil and gas production sites will soon be unable to escape notice. Colorado-based researchers are validating a laser-based spectroscopy technique that can “sniff” out the tiniest emissions over several square miles. According to a ScienceDaily article, the new system can monitor its assigned areas nonstop. The current approach to detecting methane emissions involves on-site […]

Holographic storage of 3D images in a nanofilm can archive more than 1,000 times more data than optical media

As we produce and amass more data, we need bigger storage spaces and better ways of organizing them. Accordingly, Chinese researchers have developed new nano-particle films that can store the hologram equivalent of more than 1,000 DVDs in a piece of film that measures 10-by-10 centimeters, according to an article in ScienceDaily. According to study […]
