Scientists at Rice University have created a nanoscale detector that checks for and reports on the presence of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in crude oil and natural gas while they’re still in the ground. Crude oil and natural gas inherently contain hydrogen sulfide, which gives off a “rotten egg” smell. —Michael Wong.
