Fluorous Gated Field-Effect Transistor Sensors for PFAS Detection
Fluorous-interface gated field-effect transistor (FET) sensors provide a portable platform for real-time detection of PFAS and related fluorinated compounds in water. An extended-gate interface converts fluorous interactions into electrical signals, with an optional F-PANI configuration that adds an optical response for cross-verification. The platform...

Method to actively control the direction of hydraulic fractures using ultrasonic waves
Brief Description Hydraulic fracking has revolutionized the oil industry since the first successful application in 1950. In hydraulic fracking, high pressure fluids are injected into wells in order to crack and thereby render the oil containing substrate more permeable thus allowing the entrapped oil and gas to flow more freely. Wells may be drilled...
