Researchers have developed microneedle sensors for plants before, with some drawbacks. For instance, one microneedle patch designed to detect hydrogen peroxide uses colorimetric methods. This is ...

Achieving near-total plastic circularity is not only feasible, it is the most cost-effective and humane path forward in a ...

That side is additionally coated with a hydrogel made up mainly of a bio-based material known as chitosan. The gel also contains an enzyme that reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce electrons.

They coated the surface with a chitosan-based hydrogel, a sugar from shellfish’s outer skeleton. The formula contains an enzyme that reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce electrons while ...

While hydrogels are known for their ability to soak up and hold large amounts of water, they often hold the water too rigidly. This means it takes a lot of energy (usually heat) t ...
