IIT Guwahati scientists develop material to detect fuel adulteration and clean oil spills

Scientists at IIT Guwahati have created a new material. This material can detect kerosene mixed with petrol, a common adulteration. It also absorbs oil spills from water, forming a gel for easy removal. This innovation offers a dual benefit for fuel safety and environmental cleanup. The research promises a cost-effective solution for both household hazards and ocean pollution.
