Combining human olfactory receptors with artificial organic synapses and a neural network to sniff out cancer

Pattern-recognition artificial olfactory system. Hyun Woo Song and colleagues have developed an artificial olfactory system that discriminates odorants at the molecular chain length level. The olfactory system has been developed through the integration of human olfactory receptors and organic synaptic devices. The system generates distinct conductance patterns for odorants and mixtures. This approach enables precise odorant recognition via training and inference simulations.
