Researchers are working to develop an affordable electronic nose that can be used in breath analysis for a wide range of health diagnosis. "Smell is one of the senses of humans and animals, and there have been many efforts to build an electronic nose," said Dr. Navneet Sharma, the lead author of paper, who recently defended his doctoral thesis at UT Dallas. "We have demonstrated that you can build an affordable electronic nose that can sense many different kinds of smells. When you're smelling something, you are detecting chemical molecules in the air. Similarly, an electronic nose detects chemical compounds using rotational spectroscopy." http://www.utdallas.edu/news/2016/6...he-Next_story-wide.html?WT.mc_id=NewsHomePage
