Mercury Detection: A Bright Idea with Gold and Dye

March 18, 2025

A clever way to spot mercury has been cooked up in labs. It uses a special dye and tiny gold bits to light up when mercury is around. This dye, called perylene, sticks to the gold bits. When it does, the light it gives off gets turned down. But when mercury shows up, it stops this from happening. So
