👃 Electronic Nose from Berkeley
Researchers have developed a chip with 16 carbon nanotube-based sensors that can identify meat spoilage and the presence of allergens (up to 0.05g of nuts) with 99% accuracy.
🌍 This technology opens new possibilities for integrating AI into smart home IoT devices, creating a market for automated food safety monitoring.
👤 In the future, smart refrigerators could independently notify users about spoiled food, preventing poisoning and saving money.
