虫,像蜜蜂,可以闻到房间里极其微弱的气味,即使是有好多种化学成分。科学家们好奇这种能力能否用来区分好几种化学物质,从甲基苯丙胺到炸药的组成成分。他们已经证实蜜蜂的这种能力可以用来诊断肺结核和糖尿病等多种疾病。英国产品设计师Suana Soares已经创造出来一种简单的用蜜蜂来诊断疾病的方法,这些疾病中包括癌症,像肺癌和卵巢癌。她的装备称作Bee’s,一个大的容器中间有一个相互连接的大容器和小容器。训练蜜蜂能将糖这类奖品和化学气味联系起来,通过一个开放的口让蜜蜂进入诊断器中。病人向诊断器中吹气,看蜜蜂是否会根据病人的呼出的气体发出某种警告。 Insects, like bees, can smell the faint smell in the room, even with a wide variety of chemicals. Scientists wonder whether this ability can be used to distinguish between several chemicals, from methamphetamine to explosives. They have confirmed that this ability of bees can be used to diagnose a variety of diseases such as tuberculosis and diabetes. British product designer Suana Soares has created a simple way to diagnose diseases with bees, including cancers like lung and ovarian cancers. Her equipment is called Bee’s, a large container with a large container and a small container connected to one another. Training bees can link up such prizes with chemical odors and get the bees into the diagnostic via an open mouth. The patient blows into the diagnostics to see if the beeper sends some kind of warning based on the patient’s exhaled gas.
