University of Michigan engineers have developed a microchip that fits a full gas analysis system onto a device smaller than a postage stamp. The low-cost tool could be used to monitor industrial processes, natural gas pipelines, and indoor air quality. With patent protection underway, the technology shows strong potential for real-world applications ranging from pollution tracking to wearable health diagnostics.
