Molecular pH Sensor Inspired by Relay Runners Chemists have taken inspiration from relay runners to create a molecular version of a conventional glass pH electrode. Their molecular sensor can measure pH over a wide range and should allow scientists to begin measuring pH levels in microscopic volumes, such as within individual cells. |
