Engineers Develop Biowarfare Sensing Elements That Permit Mass Production of Highly Sensitive Nerve-Gas Detectors A sensing device tailored for mass production of highly sensitive and stable nerve-gas detectors has been developed by a research group led by a mechanical engineer at The University of Texas at Austin.The new sensor technology, which was more sensitive and much more stable than its predecessors, was featured on this week`s cover of Applied Physics Letters. The researchers` highlighted study demonstrated the sensor`s potential ability to detect a single molecule of the nerve gas, sarin, the most toxic of biological warfare agents.
