Researchers in China solved a common design problem associated with developing electronic olfactory systems, they said.

Volatile organic compounds are chemicals emitted as gases that can have adverse health effects. They are often found in paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants, among other common products, but ...

Volatile organic compounds are substances that are released as gases and can be harmful to one’s health.

Scientists have designed an e-nose that could detect the presence of harmful chemicals in the air.

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 consistently detects VOCs at low concentrations. The strategy, which includes using a shunt-like device to control the behavior of fluid flow, is a step forward in e-nose technology development.

Tracing volatile organic compounds is important for public safety and all “smell” related issues. To this end, in Applied Physics Reviews, Liu et al. introduce a fluid mechanics-based chamber design for an electronic nose that consistently detects VOCs at low concentrations. The strategy, which includes using a shuntlike device to control the behavior of fluid flow, is a step forward in e-nose technology development.

How it would be if one could imagine asking a machine to “smell” something for them just by clicking a button. This can be made possible by electronic noses, otherwise called e-noses.
