The dog nose arrived at my house in a box that said it contained a Corelle eighteen-ounce soup/cereal bowl. At the time, I had no idea what was actually inside. Gus barked the UPS truck good riddance while I checked the name on the return address. It was definitely not a bowl.
It had been weeks since Matthew Staymates, PhD, a fluid dynamicist and mechanical engineer with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), had said he would send me something interesting. It felt like Christmas in May as I drew the knife in a shallow track along the tape. The top of the box popped open like double doors to reveal a wad of crinkly brown paper. What could it be?
Gus was curious, too. He stood by me at the kitchen counter, his yellow Lab face smiling, his big brown eyes glancing from me to the package and back to me.
Open it! Open it! What did we get?!
I pulled away one corner of the paper, then the next. Something white and cylindrical peeked out. It looked like a cup. A cup? I ripped through the rest of the paper.
In my hands I now held a heavy-duty hard plastic replica of a dogs nose. Not some cheap costume-shop version, but a 3-D-printed model of the exterior of a real dogs snout, life-size. It was all white except for the soft black rhinarium (the cold wet part of a dogs nose), with a perfect rendition of the nostrils, down to the little curvy slits on the side.
The inside of this particular nose was mostly hollow. It wasnt anything like the intricate interior anatomy that makes a real dogs nose such a superb sniffer. When I held it with the nostril end facing down, it looked like a strange Japanese teacup that would never balance on a table. NIST was written in it with a Sharpie.
From my interviews with Dr. Staymates, I knew he had created this nose himself on a 3-D printer. He used CAD (computer-aided design) files that had been supplied to him by fellow fluid dynamicist Brent Craven, PhD, who had created models of the complex inside of this same dogs nose.
Compared with Dr. Cravens model, this nose was simplicity itself. And yet even this simple structure has been shown to vastly improve detection of odors when applied to a sniffing system. When Dr. Staymates and his colleagues used a similar design on a vapor detection system and had it mimic the way dogs sniffinhaling and exhaling about five times a second rather than just drawing in airvapor detection improved sixteen-fold.
This kind of canine biomimicry, when put to use with technology that already exists, could have far-reaching effects for future scent detection. As Dr. Staymates and his colleagues wrote in
