Israelis Develop World’s First Molecular Sensor That Can Scan Almost Anything

More than twenty years ago when Damian Goldring and Dror Sharon first became friends, they never imagined that they would help produce a technological breakthrough that looks as though it will dramatically impact the year of 2016.

The pair, who studied together at the Technion in Haifa, developed SCiO, the world’s first molecular sensor that scans the chemical makeup of materials and sends the information directly to a smartphone.

Powered by Consumer Physics, SciO enables any person to ascertain the molecular and chemical design of almost any physical object or material including food, medicine, and more. By simply pointing the device at any given object, users will receive information ranging from the molecular design of living room furniture to the facts about our nutritional intake.
