An electronic nose that knows

Imagine if the milk in your refrigerator could sniff itself, changing the color of the carton if its contents were spoiled. EECS graduate student Josephine Chang is building just such an “electronic nose.” Fabricated with a modified inkjet printer that squirts organic electronic inks, the e-nose could potentially beat the sensitivity of today’s commercial gas analyzers at the cost of tens rather than tens of thousands of dollars.

“Right now, electronic noses are so expensive they’re mainly used by the military or sometimes in industry,” Chang says. “But if we can significantly lower the cost, they could be everywhere, inside toasters, medicine cabinets, possibly even food packaging.”

Chang is a graduate student in the research group of EECS associate professor Vivek Subramanian. Subramanian and his students are pioneers in organic electronics, a form of electronics that uses conductive polymers, or plastics, in lieu of inorganic materials such as the copper or silicon found in traditional circuits. Previously, the researchers have demonstrated an inkjet printer and family of electronic inks that can pattern circuits onto paper, plastic or cloth without damaging the material.
