Could an electronic nose sniff out cancerous brain cells? NASA recently developed an electronic nose to be used to monitor air quality on Space Shuttle Endeavour and at the International Space Station.
Scientists have discovered that in addition to being able to determine air quality, the e-nose can also tell the difference between normal and cancerous brain cells. Pretty cool stuff.
