Specialists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a small sensor for recognizing pesticides on organic products in only a couple of moments. The strategy, depicted as a proof-of-idea in a paper in the journal Advanced Science, utilizes fire-spattered nanoparticles produced using silver to expand the sign of synthetics. While still in the early stages, experts believe these nano-sensors could aid in the detection of food pesticides prior to their use. "Reports show that up to half of all organic products sold in the EU contain pesticide deposits that in bigger amounts have been connected to human medical conditions," says
