News Center highlights UMaine’s rapid testing PFAS sensor research
News Center Maine highlighted research from Sharmila Mukhopadhyay, professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Maine, to develop an easy-to-use and low cost sensor that can detect a group of chemicals known as PFAS. “We have taken nano materials which have been attached to these large aerospace grade materials to create robust and reusable electrodes, which are now used to detect PFAS,” Mukhopadhyay said.
