Imagine if you could ask a machine to “smell” something for you with just a click of a button. That’s what electronic noses, or e-noses, are for. They are systems that combine chemical gas sensors, ...

Tracing volatile organic compounds is important for public safety and all 'smell' related issues. To this end, researchers introduce a fluid mechanics-based chamber design for an electronic nose that ...

Fumes from chemicals that people use every day, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be harmful to their health, even though many people may not know about their existence because they can't ...

There is a clear and unmet need for less invasive and more accurate methods for diagnosing lung cancer. A promising innovation under investigation at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is ...

After years of trying, the electronic nose is finally making major progress in sensing smells, almost as well as its human counterpart. That is the conclusion of a scientific review into the ...

Carbon nanotube sensor array detects VOCs below 100 ppb with high selectivity, enabling electronic nose applications for precise chemical vapor identification. (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers at ...
