Is it ripe? Carbon nanotube-based ethylene sensor establishes fruit ripeness
Phys.Org
A mixture of single-walled carbon nanotubes and a special copper complex is deposited between the electrodes. The copper complexes bind tightly to the carbon nanotubes. When the sensor comes into contact with ethylene, the ethylene binds to the copper ...
