  • Guwahati have developed a model to detect harmful metals like mercury in living cells and the environment. The research team, led by Prof Saikat Bhaumik from the Department of Physics, in collaboration with Prof Chandan Goswami of NISER Bhubaneswar,

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed a pioneering method for detecting mercury using perovskite nanocrystals, as reported by MSN. This innovative approach utilizes the unique optical properties of cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite nanocrystals, which change their fluorescence in the presence of mercury ions. The method promises high sensitivity and selectivity, capable of detecting mercury at concentrations as low as 10 nM, which is significantly lower than the permissible limits set by environmental standards. This breakthrough not only offers a cost-effective and efficient way to monitor mercury pollution in water but also has potential applications in environmental monitoring, food safety, and biomedical diagnostics, addressing the global challenge of mercury contamination.
