Innovation at Work: Smarter farming with better data

Raquel Rainier making graphene out of circuit boards

In a Sukup Hall lab, Ph.D. student Raquel Rainier places circuit boards to be charred by a laser to create graphene. When an ion-selective membrane is added, the circuits are a sensor for nitrate and ammonium. Associate professors of engineering Carmen Gomes and Jonathan Claussen lead the research team that created the technology. Photo by Christopher Gannon. .
