MIT chemists found a way to modify an NFC chip and gave it the ability to work with carbon nanotubes to sniff out certain types of gases. This technology can be used for detecting things like carbon monoxide leaks, bombs and whether or not food has gone bad. Because an NFC chip is used, this tech would work great in smartphones.There is no set function for these modified chips, but it seems like it has many possibilities. The team that invented this sensor would also like to find a way to incorporate bluetooth in the mix in order to extend their range.
