From Smell to Smoke Alarms:
How do we detect odors in the atmosphere? How does a smoke alarm
understand a fire? How can a smoke alarm understand a burning house vs. a
burning dinner? These questions are explored in a basic introduction to
the olfactory system (nose) and the corresponding chemical sensors in
artificial systems. Students compare the response of their noses to the
response of artificial sensors to different odors.
