Ohio State University researchers have coated these microsensor silicon chip arrays, which were provided by collaborators at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, with tiny particles of nickel oxide. Once further developed, this technology could lead to sensors that detect toxic industrial chemicals and biological warfare agents. Photo by Jo McCulty, courtesy of Ohio State University.
