Once a thick canopy, Albro Woods is now full of diseased beech trees. Most, if not all of them, will die.

Sensors That Detects Potentially Harmful Substances New sensors detect explosive materials, viral particles at part-per-quadrillion level. We are frequently reminded of how vulnerable our health and safety are to threats from nature or those who wish to harm us. Now imagine being able to detect these before they happen? This is why a new sensor that identify explosive materials, particles from a virus and illegal drugs at the part-per-quadrillion level being created shows promise. The new sensors is created by University of Rhode Island Professor Otto Gregory and URI doctoral student Peter Ri...

New Sensors can Detect Threats at the Molecular Level Written by AZoSensorsMay 17 2021 We are frequently reminded of how vulnerable our health and safety are to threats from nature or those who wish to harm us. New sensors developed by Professor Otto Gregory, of the College of Engineering at the University of Rhode Island, and chemical engineering doctoral student Peter Ricci, are so powerful that they can detect threats at the molecular level, whether it's explosive materials, particles from a potentially deadly virus or illegal drugs entering the country. "This is potentially life-saving te...
