New sensing technology to improve safety of hydrogen fuel

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

New hydrogen sensor. Credit: © 2025 KAUST. Researchers have invented a highly sensitive, low-cost device which has been shown to outperform existing commercial hydrogen detectors. Green hydrogen, which is made by electrolysing water using renewable energy, has great potential as a “clean” alternative to fossil fuels because it produces only water vapour and energy when combusted. Hydrogen (H2) fuel can be used in gaseous or liquid form. But, as …Thuwal · ThuwalRead Article

MXene-antibody sensor enables low-cost, accurate vitamin D detection in remote regions

100% Center coverage: 2 sources

An electrochemical sensor designed to address a global health issue that particularly impacts people in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has been created by a multidisciplinary team at KAUST. The sensor detects low vitamin D levels in blood samples, providing early warning of an essential vitamin deficiency that can have severe health consequences if left untreated.Science · ThuwalSee the Story
