Electronic nose

An electronic nose is like a robot that can smell things just like we can! It has special sensors that can detect different scents and sends a signal to a computer that tells it what it smells.

Think of it like your nose, which has different parts that help you smell things. Just like how we can smell flowers, cookies or a stinky sock, an electronic nose can also tell the difference between different smells. And because it is a machine, it can also smell things that we might not be able to detect with our own noses.

Scientists use electronic noses to help them examine different substances, like food or medicine, and make sure they are safe to use. They can also use them in places where it might be dangerous for us humans to go, like a volcano or a chemical factory. The robot can tell us what it would be like for us to breathe in those chemicals without us having to risk our own health.

So, an electronic nose is a robot that can smell things and help scientists figure out what they are smelling and how it could affect us.
