Producing hydrogen from sunlight-driven water splitting needs catalysts at neutral pH, not just acidic.

Study shows electron-poor cobalt–porphyrin catalysts outperform electron-rich at pH 7, boosting solar fuels potential: https://t.co/Ljy3JsXetW

New app note: Researchers used a high-resolution pH microelectrode to map the spatial pH gradient inside gastric organoids derived from patient tissue. Their measurements revealed a clear drop in pH from the outer matrix to the organoid lumen: https://t.co/xceAXgVLC0

On 7-9 October, you can join our In-Person Workshop where you will work with microsensors alongside our team, attend expert-led lectures, and explore real-world research applications.

Find the details and more info on our website. Here are a few images from last year's workshop.

The researchers used 25 µm oxygen and redox sensors to map the gradients through a colony biofilm of the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Visit us at booth 1518 at #ASMicrobe to learn more about how you can apply microsensors in your biofilm research. https://t.co/E2CwMNVN5b

Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

In this recent blog post, microsensor expert Ole Pedersen presents a standard approach to measuring the oxygen consumption and oxygen production of plant tissues with just a sensor, a meter, and a gas-tight container.
