Scio pocket 'food-sniffing' sensor now shipping to devs

Wired:

Scio, the pocket-friendly molecular sensor that was a 2014 Kickstarter sensation will soon be shipped to backers, Consumer Physics -- the company that makes it -- has announced.

With promises of being able to identify food and distinguish between types of pills just by scanning their molecular fingerprints, it's little wonder the sensor was popular on Kickstarter. Not only can Scio identify objects, but it can also give a breakdown of many of the chemicals within.
