Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the design and construction of electronic noses, with a focus on the potential use of carbon nanotubes and DNA in sensor technology. Participants seek to understand the principles, components, and construction details of electronic noses, as well as relevant resources and literature.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests information on how to design an electronic nose and seeks guidance on related concepts.
  • Another participant mistakenly interprets the original question as related to audio noise rather than olfactory technology.
  • Some participants suggest using Google to find resources and mention the availability of information on electronic noses.
  • A participant expresses a desire for more detailed information on the construction of electronic noses, specifically regarding gas sensors and their arrangement.
  • One suggestion includes consulting September Nano Letters for information on carbon nanotubes layered with single-stranded DNA for sensor applications.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion remains unresolved, with participants expressing varying levels of knowledge and interest in the construction details of electronic noses. There is no consensus on specific methodologies or components.

Contextual Notes

Participants note limitations in available information regarding the principles and construction details of electronic noses, particularly concerning the types of gas sensors and their configurations.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in sensor technology, particularly in the context of electronic noses and the application of nanomaterials in sensing devices.

OMG! I just realized that both dlgoff and I misread the OP's question (and even the title of the thread!). Nose, not noise.:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Okay, sorry about that. Electronic nose. Hmmm, where to start. Beats me. What kind of resources do you know about already? With all the bomb sniffing technology around right now, there must be some pretty good info on different reactions that can be used for "smelling" various stuff.

What kind of things have you been able to find through google so far?
 
Hi,
I too wanted to know about details of constructions of electronic nose.By GOOGLE, one gets information about what e-nose is, it's uses and very little is known about principles and constuctional details.I mean what gas sensors to use, how gas sensors are arranged etc. Does anyone have any idea on its construction details?
 
You could try September Nano Letters.

Describes carbon nanotubes layered with single stranded DNA for a sensor.
