Monitoring ethanol at very low concentrations is crucial due to its widespread use in ...

A new gas sensor using ruthenium dioxide nanosheets achieves ultra-sensitive ethanol detection down to 5 ppb, enabling real-time breath alcohol monitoring at under 30 milliwatts.

Researchers have synthesised a flexible sensor that can detect traces of ethanol gas in atmosphere, making it potentially useful for making wearable gas-sensing devices 1. Existing ethanol gas sensors ...

A sensor that detects ethanol in the headspace of a food package has been developed by scientists. Ethanol, in addition to carbon dioxide, has been found to be the main volatile spoilage metabolite in ...

Researchers have developed a smartphone-compatible alcohol sensor that can visually detect a full range of ethanol concentrations, without the need for complex electronics or lab tools. Their ...

Interestingly, most of these "failed" sensors are not actually defective or even worn out. What has happened, is that a small amount Ethanol in the gasoline (gasohol) will get past the piston rings ...
