Despite all the different kinds of advancements made in the field of science and technology, modern day electronics are still unable to pick out a bomb the way a well trained dog is able to do so, as man's best friend has an unrivalled olfactory ability. They are about to receive a new challenger in the form of a nanotech device, thanks to researchers over at the University of California in Santa Barbara. This nanotech device was obviously inspired by a dog's scent receptors, relying on microfluidics to detect airborne molecules of TNT explosives, and is smart enough to tell them from other similar molecules.
