Lithuanian Chemists Developed Oxygen Sensors that can be Applied from Food Packaging to Cancer Diagnostics
Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania, have developed new organic compounds that act as highly sensitive oxygen sensors. These sensors can accurately detect even the slightest amounts of oxygen in the environment – information that is crucial in situations where oxygen concentration can determine the success of a process or even a person’s life.The sensors can be applied in medicine, for example, in diagnosing tumour hypoxia – a condition in which there is almost no oxygen around a…

Researchers at Klaipeda University to develop a system that will help prevent risks in water
Researchers at Klaipeda University (KU) are taking a new step in assessing the water quality of bathing areas by developing real time risk analysis systems and applying advanced molecular technologies as well as artificial intelligence-based solutions. The researchers’ goal is not only to determine when it is unsafe to swim, but also to create a functioning information system that helps residents and institutions make informed decisions. An automated bathing water quality assessment tool is being developed under the European Space…
