If you're interested in this sort of thing, check out Nate Lewis at 
Caltech.  He makes electronic noses (and I believe he actually was the 
first to do so).  He showed a video at a talk one time that showed 
robots with these noses that were able to respond to "smells".

Hi Everyone!

Sensors and biosensors have been a personal interest of mine for a
long time.  Their application to defense is obvious, however it is not
hard to see the expanded roles they will play in EHS.  That being
said, I found this article on CNN, it doesn't say much as far as
scientific knowledge (almost laughable actually) but I thought that
many of you would take interest in this type of research considering
how it can be applied.

I don't know much about this specific sensor, but if anyone is
interested in opening a discussion, you can consider me an informed
enthusiast willing to share what I know.
