ON THE COVER: Novel Materials and Applications of Electronic
Noses and Tongues. Electronic noses have been developed to meet
the need for a low-cost and rapid method of evaluating odors for applications
such as food-quality assessment, environmental monitoring, chemical and
biological threats, and medical diagnostics. Electronic noses (and electronic
tongues, their counterparts for liquid environments) are essentially intelligent
chemical sensor-array systems for the classification of odors and "tastes."
Oxides, polymers, and composites can all be used as environmental monitoring
elements through mechanisms such as changes in electrical resistance or
color. This issue describes the range of materials that can be used to
pick up signals from the air or liquids, various methods for assessing
the data, and applications for these systems. (Photographs of JPL ENose
and sensor courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech.) See the technical theme that begins
on p. 697.
