Israeli Scientists Invent Futuristic Handheld Molecular Sensor!

An Israeli team of researchers and developers has introduced yet another technology that intends to make science fiction a reality.

The Tel Aviv based firm, Consumer Physics, Inc., is now in the final stages of developing a Scio, a “pocket molecular sensor.”

While most people have never heard of, let alone dreamed of, owning such a device, its applications promise to appeal to all. Essentially, the Scio is a handheld device that can immediately analyze a substance’s chemical makeup and provide the user with instantaneous practical information. As an example, the Scio can be pointed at a milkshake and within seconds the user can receive information about its nutritional value or allergenic contents and then make an educated decision on whether to indulge. For more curious minds, the Scio can be pointed at any plant and then give its user all relevant biological and botanical information about that plant.

Scio is a Tiny but Powerful Device

The device uses a tiny spectrometer to sample the substance and then draws from a cloud-based database to interpret its chemical makeup and convert it into user-friendly data. As the creators explain, the method for collecting the information utilized by Scio, near-IR spectroscopy, is not new. However, the ability to bring this technology to such a small device, with such ease of use, is radically new.

Abby giving up her major-mass-spec baby for a small hand held with no waiting? Better give her decaf caf-pow so she won't have a conniption.

Sounds like that hand held thing the Star Trek doctor "McCoy" would scan sick people with.

Except his device would actually cure people as well. Soon to come.

 

[Sunni Man]

I wonder if the device could detect Zyklon B ?? ..

 

[Roudy]

Don't worry, soon they will be able to create a device that cures Mad Muslim Disease.

Oooooops, already did!
