NASA turns iPhone into chemical sniffer |
Ó
The iPhone - smart phone, multimedia device, portable gaming machine,
and now, thanks to the NASA Ames Research Center, a chemical sniffer.
That's right, a NASA researcher took an iPhone and hooked it up with
new technology that allows the phone to pick up scents from certain
substances.The device, developed by NASA researcher Jing Li, is just about the size of your average postage stamp and can collect, process, and transmit sensor data. It's equipped with 16 nanosensors and can detect substances such as ammonia, chlorine gas, or methane.
This app can be usable not only for the iPhone, but in other mobile phones of similar capabilities as well.

Maybe they're trying to put an end to the whole "whoever smelt it dealt it" argument.
That could be really important in space.
