Description
Roozbeh Javad Kalbasi leads a five-author team building a transistor sensor for forever chemicals in water in a 2026 study. PFAS chemicals resist breakdown and raise health worries, yet field detection stays hard. Their sensor uses carbon nanotubes wrapped in a designed polymer that processes in water. Ring-shaped parts on the polymer carry charges that grip the target chemicals' tails.
Tests confirmed the gripping interaction with two common PFAS compounds. Devices built from the enriched nanotubes showed strong, stable electrical behaviour in plain water. The sensors detected both target chemicals and told them apart from a similar harmless acid. The authors present the work as proof of concept for a model sensing platform, with real-world water testing still ahead.
