The Electronic Nose: Sniffing Out Dangerous Stuff so You Don’t Have to

[GAS] reader Kirk just sent in this video he recently made about an electronic nose scientists at Caltech are currently working on.

So I just put together this fun video about a lab at Caltech that is working on an electronic nose that they plan on miniaturizing and installing into smart phones. It can be used to detect diseases, bombs in public spaces, dangerous toxins- a whole bunch of things.

Thanks Kirk!
