STEM in the Real World: Sonar Technology for Liquid Forensics to Determine Quality of Water, Beverages, and Motor Oil Too!
In development at the University of Missouri, sonar technology is used to analyze small drops of liquid samples.  MU researchers designed an instrument to analyze the quality of liquids using the photoacoustic effect.  Scientists say it’s a rapid and inexpensive way to determine if drinking water is safe to consume. Sonar technology can determine changes in the physical properties of liquids. This helps to identify water quality and the quality of other liquids too.
