This Is NASA's Cancer-Sniffing Cellphone SensorThe chip only draws 5 milliwatts, which means very little battery-drain (the smartphone they tested it with can use the sensor for 8 continuous hours on a single charge). It's primarily being developed to monitor carbon monoxide as well as chlorine, and more »
