An electronic “nose” can detect when food has spoiled

Most of us rely on a quick sniff test to decide whether slightly expired milk or a week-old takeaway is still safe to eat. While the human nose is often reliable, it isn’t foolproof. Every year, millions of people in the U.S. become ill from foodborne pathogens that grow in spoiled or improperly cooked food.

Robots can mix drinks and run marathons but still struggle to multitask

They can mix cocktails, run marathons, and fold laundry, but despite marketing claims, humanoid robots are still far from reliably handling many different tasks on demand. The difference was clear at the Robotics Summit in Boston in late May, where glossy marketing materials told one story while the engineers building the robots described another reality.

A new study suggests Wi-Fi routers may scan human bodies to accurately identify people

A technology that until recently sounded like science fiction is rapidly moving toward real-world application. Researchers in Europe have shown that Wi-Fi router signals can identify individuals with surprisingly high accuracy, without cameras, wearables, phones, or user input. Their findings indicate that the human body constantly disturbs radio waves as they move through indoor spaces.
