Scientists create a crystal that detects pollutants in water and air by changing color
SMRTR summary
Scientists in Japan have developed a unique crystal that changes color when exposed to naphthalene, a common pollutant. The crystal shifts from greenish-blue to red-violet upon contact with naphthalene and can return to its original color, making it reusable. This breakthrough could lead to new chemical sensors for environmental protection.
