Researchers at Ohio State University are developing a sensor that could help control emissions from cars, power plants, and other sources of combustion exhaust. Here Prabir Dutta (left), professor and chair of chemistry, and Jiun-Chan Yang (right), a doctoral student, examine pieces of a prototype sensor.
