Could enzymes like hydrogenases be used instead of costly platinum as hydrogen catalysts? The answer could be yes, according to research published in the July issue of Nature magazine. A team of scientists* has developed a reacting agent that completely activates a previously inactive hydrogenase. This hydrogenase is used by micro-organisms that rely on hydrogen […] >>

Leti is planning to develop an optical CO2 sensor using all-MEMS technology, including an emitter, detector, and infrared optical system. It will be no bigger than 1 cm3 and require no more than 6 mW of power. This will be the first step towards an even smaller sensor that could be used in cell phones, […] >>
