Researchers at the University of Chicago and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed electronic glue that could accelerate advances in semiconductor-based technologies, including solar cells and thermoelectric devices that convert sun light and waste heat, respectively, into useful electrical energy. This glue could drop the production price of semiconductors drastically.

Electronic Nose May Sniff Out Brain Cancer Cells

I alway thought that cancer cell sniffing dogs was the coolest thing out there untill i saw this article.

NASA has developed electronic nose to detect air quality on Space Shuttle Endeavour, which turns out that it can also detect odour differences in normal and cancerous brain cells.

The electronic nose, which is to be installed on the International Space Station in order to automatically monitor the station’s air, can detect contaminants within a range of one to approximately 10,000 parts per million.

The data that was gathered from the tests demonstrates that the electronic nose can sense differences in odor from normal versus cancerous cells.
