environmental monitoring

Researchers have developed copper-modified nanocages (tiny structures) that can detect cadaverine, a molecule linked to decay. By enhancing the reactivity of B12N12 and Al12N12 nanocages, these sensors are highly sensitive and stable, even in the presence of water and gases. This technology has promising applications for environmental monitoring, food safety, and health diagnostics. The study shows that these copper-modified nanocages could detect decay in real time, potentially providing a reliable way to ensure early detection in various fields.
