High-sensitivity electro snout sniffs out unsafe food

Researchers from UC Berkeley have created an advanced "electronic nose" using nanotubes that can detect even the faintest traces of gases emitted by spoiled food or allergens, outperforming the sensitivity of human noses. This innovation could revolutionize food safety by enabling early detection of spoilage and allergens, preventing health risks and food waste. The technology holds significant implications for industries reliant on food safety and quality control, potentially saving billions in losses and enhancing public health.
