In the original version, we mixed up carbon isotopes with carbon isotope ratios.

No one nose [CLEAN]

But they're looking at how powerful it is - dogs can actually sniff out cancer and many other diseases - and they're trying to figure out how to reverse engineer it. In fact, one MIT scientist may have built a robot nose ... without completely understanding how his invention works.
