Honestly, this is a really cool result. Since it’s a prototype I’m sure it’s wildly expensive right now, but eventually it’ll come down in cost that you can buy sensors like this for cheap. Rather than throwing stuff away once it’s past the expiration date, you now would wait for a positive sensor hit instead. Would really reduce food waste which is a huge problem.
