It detects food spoilage

Posted by Robin on 11 September 2023 Leave a Comment

The team said their new AOS requires little energy and integrates sensing and computing units on the same chip. It detects food spoilage by employing thin zinc oxide films that sense even very low levels of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia gases that are high-protein food spoilage markers.

When investigators tested it during the spoilage process of chicken tenderloin, the system continuously tracked freshness scores and food conditions over time. The platform could be used for various applications by adjusting the gas-sensing materials and other parameters.

Organize odors according to the nutrients from which they derive

Posted by Robin on 5 September 2023 2 Comments

What’s next? The team surmises that the model map may be organized based on metabolism, which would be a fundamental shift in how scientists think about odors. In other words, odors that are close to each other on the map, or perceptually similar, are also more likely to be metabolically related. Sensory scientists currently organize molecules the way a chemist would, for example, asking does it have an ester or an aromatic ring?

“Our brains don't organize odors in this way,” said Mainland. “Instead, this map suggests that our brains may organize odors according to the nutrients from which they derive.”

Better and more accurately than humans

Posted by Robin on 2 September 2023 3 Comments

Researchers at Monell and Google-backed olfactory AI startup Osmo have created a machine-learning model that could accurately describe the smells of chemicals by their molecules. The team found that the AI could also describe the scents better and more accurately than humans. This breakthrough, detailed in the journal Science on Thursday, is a major step forward in the quest to digitize smells.

New scent molecules

"I am thrilled to be joining the Osmo team building the world's first AI platform for scent molecule discovery," said Laudamiel. "The fragrance industry has mastered complex plant extractions, scent chemistries, and manufacturing at scale. But when it comes to discovering new scent molecules , there is a new opportunity to explore the billions of untapped molecules that human noses cannot screen on their own."

A robot to smell odors using a biological sensor

Posted by Robin on 25 April 2023 Leave a Comment

Airports and train stations all over the world may soon switch out drug-sniffing dogs for their not nearly as cuddly robotic counterparts. A technological breakthrough by a team at Tel Aviv University has made it possible, for the first time ever, for a robot to smell odors using a biological sensor. The sensor works by sending electrical signals as a response to the presence of a nearby odor, which the robot can then go on to detect and interpret.
