Hydrogen-detecting innovation earns national honors

A safety innovation developed jointly by the University of Central Florida (UCF) and NASA has been selected for a 2014 R&D 100 Award. The invention is a chemochromic sensor in a tape that can detect hydrogen leaks by changing color, a critical safety technology for the Space Shuttle Program. Its primary application is for use in industries such as oil and gas production.
