A
University of Cincinnati project is one of six chosen by the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to take part in its University Coal Research Program.
UC researchers will work to investigate and demonstrate two new types of doped-ceramic nanofilm-coated optical fiber chemical sensors that will only detect and interact with specific gas molecules.
The
Missouri University of Science and Technology will collaborate on the three-year project.
The University Coal Research Program, which is the nation's longest-running student-teacher research grant initiative, is designed to "advance new ideas in coal research and to train a new generation of scientists and engineers in the investigation of long-term solutions for clean and efficient use of the nation's abundant coal resources", according to the DOE.
