The colorimetric sensor array real-time monitoring system with multivariate analysis was established for discrimination of potato varieties with different types and degrees of corruption. The characteristic volatile compounds of fresh, dry rot and soft rot potatoes was identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and the 3 × 4 array was fabricated to capture the characteristics volatile compounds. The sensor array system produced a visible color difference map upon its exposure to volatile compounds of potato. Discrimination of potatoes with the same types or different degrees of corruption was subsequently achieved using principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis dendrogram. The k-nearest neighbor algorithm for potato classification provided the best results with 100 % discrimination on both the calibration and prediction sets. The linear discriminant analysis model achieved a 99.76 % calibration set and a 99.31 % prediction set for potato grading. An online warning device based on array was devised to realize unmanned monitoring for potato quality.

Pressure and temperature sensing simultaneously and independently is crucial for creating electronic skin that replicates complex sensory functions of human skin. Thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays with sensors have enabled cross-talk-free spatial sensing. However, the thermal dependence of charge transport in semiconductors has resulted in interference between thermal and pressure stimuli.

Two-dimensional SnSe (X = 1, 2) has emerged as a promising candidate for a NO chemiresistive sensor due to a remarkable affinity to NO gas adsorption. Although their gas sensing mechanism primarily relies on direct charge transfer, the underlying mechanisms of SnSe and SnSe remain unclear, despite various reported successes in phase engineering of SnSe. Here, we investigate phase engineering of SnSe in a hydrothermal route via 1-dodecanethiol (1-DDT), which served as a phase stabilizer, and comprehensively demonstrate phase-dependent NO detection properties.

Proximity and tactile multiresponse sensing electronic skin enriches the perception dimension, which is of great significance in promoting the intelligence of electronic skin. However, achieving real-time visualization in sensors such as proximity and tactile feedback remains a challenge. A proximity and tactile sensor with visual function is designed, which can realize optical early warning and electrical recognition when the object is near, and optical display and electrical output when the object is in contact.

Flexible tactile sensors have received significant attention for use in wearable applications such as robotics, human-machine interfaces, and health monitoring. However, conventional tactile sensors face challenges in accurately measuring pressure because vertical deformation is induced by Poisson's ratio in situations where lateral strain is applied. This study shows a strain-insensitive flexible tactile sensor array without the crosstalk effect using a highly stretchable mesh.

Spatiotemporal Mapping of Ultrafine Particle Fluxes in an Office HVAC System with a Diffusion Charger Sensor Array.

Commercial HVAC systems intended to mitigate indoor air pollution are operated based on standards that exclude aerosols with smaller diameters, such as ultrafine particles (UFPs, D ≤ 100 nm), which dominate a large proportion of indoor and outdoor number-based particle size distributions. UFPs generated from occupant activities or infiltrating from the outdoors can be recirculated and accumulate indoors when they are not successfully filtered by an air handling unit. Monitoring UFPs in real occupied environments is vital to understanding these source and mitigation dynamics, but capturing their rapid transience across multiple locations can be challenging due to high-cost instrumentation.
