    UC San Diego Graphene Chip Detects 16 Odor Compounds

    A tiny semiconductor chip has taken a meaningful step toward gaining something long associated with living creatures rather than electronics: a chemically selective sense of smell. Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have integrated an insect odorant receptor directly with...
