Stick figure describing a new sensor system for oil detection, simplifying details.Transcript
We have developed a new sensor system...
We took an old sensor and swapped a single chemical
...for subsurface oil spills...
We put the sensor in a bucket of oil and it went BING
...with high selectivity...
And sensitivity
It didn't go BING when we put it in an empty bucket
...and we also tried a smaller bucket
Presentations of new technology benefit from a bit of translation
