A NEW CLASS OF CHEMICAL SENSORS BASED ON LEDS

A new class of chemical sensors based on LEDs

Scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Medisonskogo has once again proved that the LED, which is used in thousands of consumer electronics products, versatile material and has a variety of applications.

The same technology small glowing lights, reminds people on or off the device, which is also used in modern traffic lights, can now be used as chemical sensors.

In a study published in the Jan. 25 issue of the journal Nature, the scientists illustrate how chemicals can alter the surface structure of materials of the LED, causing vibrations contribute to the intensity of light. This mechanism can be applied to the use of LEDs in a simple but highly sensitive systems that warn of the presence of certain chemicals in the air or water.

There are works hard to make the sensors as small as possible, so that they are more versatile and are used across the economy. Will be possible to use these sensors in home systems to control the availability of smoke (fires), radon or carbon monoxide in the room. They can also be used to monitor air and water pollution, both indoors and outdoors.

LED micro device, made of semiconductor material that converts electric energy into visible light. Attracting the most commercial potential of the technology - its simplicity. Conventional sensors - much more sophisticated devices made of different materials and are very sensitive to the environment.

Therefore, their use in various purposes in water and in the air, they require different technologies for creating and sealing, in order not to be affected by the harmful effects of the environment in which they produce measurements. LED chemical sensors do not suffer from such problems, and use only one technology for their creation, can afford to create such a device that can find the most diverse range of their practical application. It is very flexible and can be adjusted sensors to detect all of the ammonia in chemical plants, to biological molecules in military facilities.

CIVIL AVIATION PASS ON ALTERNATIVE FUELS

CIVIL AVIATION PASS ON ALTERNATIVE FUELS

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has announced a competition for research #39;aspects of the use of gas fuel for aircraft of civil aviation#39;. Such information is contained in the materials of the open tender posted on the portal of public procurement.

Industry and Trade Ministry also proposes to create a #39;technology development aircraft on cryogenic fuel and biofuel `. The need for this development is due to an increase in air transport fleet and the amount of fuel consumed, which leads to the depletion of oil reserves. In addition, the use of alternative fuels will reduce emissions of air pollutants, believe in the Ministry of Industry. The studies are also planned to study the issue of aviation applications such sources as solar, microwave, laser beam, and others.

As follows from the tender documentation at the Ministry of Industry and complex research highlights the 628 million rubles. Recipients of public procurement must be determined in March. The research results and rationale of economic efficiency of the projects to be presented in 2015.

Further payments will be transferred to aviation companies. What is - in the Ministry of Industry to clarify failed.

`To go on biofuels required to enter into agricultural crops, of which it is produced. For example, canola, which is now cultivated in Russia - Alexei Zakharov, `` Finam.

According to experts of the aviation industry, Russia thus seeks to comply with the Western trends. The International Air Transport Association calls on all countries to stimulate the production of biofuels for aircraft. The analysts recognize that while biofuels still has a high price and is produced in minimal quantities.

`Now the world has a tendency to move to alternative fuels. Even the U.S. Air Force - an organization that is not prone to risky projects, now uses biofuel, - said the head of the department of scientific and technical information #39;of the Central Institute of Aviation Motors.

PI Sergey Baranov `Pen#39;kov.

To switch to biofuels will need to enter into agricultural crops, of which it is produced. For example, canola, which is now cultivated in Russia, said in turn Finam analyst `` Alexei Zakharov. Organization of growing new crops for the country - a process inert, raw material prices, as long as it will not suffice to remain high.

The West can not help us - there is already a shortage areas under crops. Consequently, the economic efficiency of this event yet minimal, said Alexei Zakharov.

According to Zakharov, the use of other alternative sources of the more inappropriate. Projects solar-powered aircraft remained at the level of experimentation. They were carried out on lung machines, rather, military - defense industry money does not believe, he said.

The transfer of energy to the board by the laser beam has a very low efficiency. Moreover, for the permanent transfer of the laser beams on the plane require the construction of a huge number of such stations along the route of flight.

Experiments on the use of microwave radiation were carried out about 40 years ago. However, the practical implementation of these ideas have been a big problem, there are too many technical issues related to the size of transmit antennas mounted both on the ground and on board the aircraft, said Alexei Zakharov.

The press service of `CC` United Engine Corporation `` `Izvestia reported that research into alternative fuels underway, but so far the members of this activity can not tell whether the engine running on biofuel equivalent of kerosene engine.

In general, experts are unanimous: there is a transition to alternative fuels in Russia is not impractical and has no economic prerequisites. Moreover, without state funding the implementation of such projects is impossible.
