Revolutionary Biomimetic Olfactory Chips To Enable Advanced Gas Sensing And Odor Detection

Science Daily, Thursday, March 28th, 2024

A research team has addressed the long-standing challenge of creating artificial olfactory sensors with arrays of diverse high-performance gas sensors.

Their newly developed biomimetic olfactory chips (BOC) are able to integrate nanotube sensor arrays on nanoporous substrates with up to 10,000 individually addressable gas sensors per chip, a configuration that is similar to how olfaction works for humans and other animals.
