Researchers have trained an e-nose, which detects chemicals in the air, to identify the origin of oil based on the proportion of volatile organic compounds. Since oil is a mixture of different hydrocarbons present in varying proportions depending on its source, the e-nose could be used to locate soil-contaminating oil spills, monitor the environment at refineries, and conduct oil field studies.Researchers have trained an e-nose, which detects chemicals in the air, to identify the origin of oil based on the proportion of volatile organic compounds.

Anyone following the rhetoric around artificial intelligence in recent years has heard one version or another of the claim that AI is inevitable. Common themes are that AI is already here, it is indispensable, and people who are bearish on it harm themselves.Anyone following the rhetoric around artificial intelligence in recent years has heard one version or another of the claim that AI is inevitable.
