I can smell a rat!

 

Ever wondered what a new car smells like? Or for that matter the inside of an Egyption tomb or even a ghost? Google Nose Beta is the answer to all your queries!

GOOGLE Nose BETA, the company's latest product, promises "to offer the sharpest olfactory experience available". It allows users to "search for smells."

Seems complicated, right? Well, that's because it is. The product intersects "photons with infrasound waves" and "temporarily aligns molecules to emulate a particular scent." The "mobile aroma indexing program" at the heart of the product has amassed a "15 million scentibyte database of smells from around the world."

But what about mobile? Well, Google has that covered, too. Their "Android Ambient Odor Detection" allows you to collect smells on your phone.

So what does a rat smell like? GOOGLE for it here.
