sensors used by electronic noses with a mix of polymers, mimicking the action of

that, acting together, identify and distinguish molecules they encounter.
Electronic noses, used in several commercial settings, including quality control
in the food industry, use the same technique but often have less than 50
sensors. The team has created an artificial mucus layer that make electronic
noses more adept at detecting and distinguishing odors.
