Self-Heating Gas Detector
A smart electronic nose (e-nose), or gas sensor, has been developed which detects gasses in less than a second. A recent study published in ACS Sensors announced this new gas detector by a research team led by Prof. Meng Gang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It utilizes a self-heating modulation process to accurately detect different types of gas molecules within just a second.
