Scientists create "electronic nose" that can be linked to smartphone to avoid dangers
It is called Smelldect and was developed by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany to be an olfaction device with identical capabilities, or even superior to the human nose.The technology is programmed to identify a wide variety of odors. The goal of the project is to create "an inexpensive olfactory sensor for everyday use" that can integrate into various devices, including smart phones, according to the researchers.These explain that the operation of this electronic nose is based on special nano fibers that "understand" the smells and emit signals that are detected by the sensor chip. If it already knows the odor, you can identify it in a few seconds.Scientists want technology to help prevent hazards from our daily lives, such as food in poor condition, or cables to burn, because it is faster than the human nose. In addition, it is likely to become the olfactory organ of robots.You can learn more about Smelldect through this online page:
