Machine olfaction research aspires to mimic the exquisite sense of smell in mammals, using arrays of cross‐responsive sensors backed with sophisticated pattern recognition algorithms for the differentiation of thousands of complex odors. on p. 1263 , M. Bayindir and co‐workers report an infrared‐absorption‐based odor differentiation in hollow core, wavelength scalable, photonic bandgap fiber arrays. Surprisingly, the specific and cross‐responsive nature of the sensor data enable direct binary coding of smell sensations.
