CalTech Creates Electronic Nose
eldavojohn writes “Researchers have created an electronic nose that can detect odor and identify which odors are a concern to it. From the article, ‘The Lewis Group a division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Cal Tech have a working model of an electronic nose. The efforts of Cal Tech scientists has led to an array of simple, readily fabricated chemically sensitive conducted polymer film. An array of broadly-cross reactive sensors respond to a variety of odors. However, the pattern of differential responses across the array produces a unique pattern for each odorant. The electronic nose can identify, classify and quantify when necessary the vapor or odor that poses a concern or threat.'”
