Team From IIT Bombay Developed eNose For The Detection of Explosives

Recently a group of 15 students and four faculty members of IIT Bombay has developed an electronic device for the detection of explosives like RDX and ENT, which is named as Enose. it can be used best for the security purpose at public places like airport, railway stations and the best thing about it is that it is very low price. V ramgopal rao who is leading the team and is professor of electrical engineering at IIT Bombay said that “The eNose is a nano tech-based electro-mechanical device with specific coatings on its surface.There are minute cantilevers on the surface, its total length equivalent to the decimetre of a strand of human hair. These cantilevers act as sensors and the nano-molecules present in the cantilevers bind to the vapours of explosives, thereby detecting the pre...
