Advances Made in Hazardous Gas Detection

Researchers at the University of Pittsburg and the National Energy Technology Laboratory have developed a method to assemble gold nanowires. That's nice, you say, but what will that be used for, nano-necklaces? No, no, these gold nanowires have much more important work to do. These nanowires are a cheaper way of detecting hazardous gasses, such as hydrogen sulfide gas, etc, that are present in natural gas. They can detect the hydrogen sulfide in a mixture of gasses, even. The abilities of these gold nanowires are comperable to the existing technologies' sensitivity to hydrogen sulfide, and other hazardous gasses. The next step in the research proceedure is testing using samples from real natural gas wells. And after that, maybe we can hope to see more affordable, and more portable hazardous gas detectors and analyzers
