Press release by AMBER Centre: A transdisciplinary team of AMBER and CRANN researchers from University College Cork (UCC) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD) has developed innovative sensor technology for wearable air quality monitors. These low-cost, flexible sensors detect hazardous gases like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in real-time, addressing a critical need for personal air quality monitoring. The research, published in ACS Applied Nano Materials, advances the integration of gas sensors into wearable technology, enhancing environmental awareness and public health protection.

Dr. Ahmad Echresh, a postdoctoral researcher at HZDR, delves into the fabrication of junctionless transistors (JNTs) and their role in advancing trace gas sensing technologies within RADICAL. He shares insights into semiconductor innovation, the challenges of nanowire-based device fabrication, and the significance of multidisciplinary collaboration in achieving breakthroughs.
RADICAL and AtmoTrace are organising “Innovative Measurement Techniques for Trace Gases and Radicals” symposium on January 9–10. This will bring together 50 experts to explore advancements in air quality and climate monitoring. The event marks the end of the RADICAL project, which developed a low-cost atmospheric sensor, and showcases UCC’s state-of-the-art Irish Atmospheric Simulation Chamber.
