ASSIST and IConS Researchers Part of NSF Convergence Accelerator Grant

It seems almost impossible to imagine replicating the impressive olfactory sensing abilities of animals. Indeed, jewel beetles can detect a burning tree 50 miles away, and dogs can sniff out substances at concentrations of one part per trillion – that means detecting one drop of liquid in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools – which is 1000 […]
