Safe drinking water has been and increasingly will be a pressing issue for communities around the world. In developed countries it is about keeping water.

On the cutting edge (The Alpena News)

An Alpena native recently participated in groundbreaking research that could eventually be used to fight terrorism. Melburne LeMieux, a 1996 Alpena High School graduate who is currently a Stanford University research scientist, helped develop nanotechnology that can detect TNT or other toxins in water supplies.

Cheap Nanotube Sensors to Detect Toxins in Water

By Mike on September 26th, 2009 A research team at Stanford has developed a new inexpensive sensor chip made with carbon nanotubes, being capable to detect rapid traces of TNT and poison in rivers, reservoirs. This sensor could be used to detect other kinds of toxins and help us track down polluters and it also can be useful to detect terrorist attacks on the water supply or leaching from ammunition making or storage facilities.“We have used semiconducting carbon nanotube network trans
