"Bionic Nose" Detects Cancer, Bombs and Impure Water
Using molecular techniques in nanotechnology, Prof. Doron Shabat of Tel Aviv University has developed a device to detect microscopic signs of cancer, bombs and impure water that appear in trace amounts too small for conventional detection techniques.
The invention, like a bionic nose, can "sniff out" these trace molecules and amplify them tenfold, making them noticeable. The prototype is ready, and Shabat plans to use it to "amplify" problems around the world to improve healthcare, safety, and security.
