Description
Changshun Su and colleagues built a hardy portable sensor for organophosphate pesticides, described in a 2026 paper. They trapped an enzyme inside a disordered metal-organic framework, then set that composite into a calcium alginate aerogel. The design aims to keep the enzyme active and stable outside a lab, where ordinary enzyme sensors fade fast.
Disorder in the framework opened pores that let target molecules reach the enzyme and limited shape changes that would dull it. The disordered composite ran 2.2 times as active as the same enzyme in a crystalline frame, and the aerogel added toughness for field use. The device offers a quick on-site check for pesticide residues in food and water safety work.
