An olfactory factory : Using a novel polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer‐based device, the switchable release of specific gases is demonstrated. Heating elements trigger the gas release by warming the gas‐containing capsule (see scheme). The release can be switched on and off by repeated thermal cycles. An X – Y addressable matrix of such capsules results in an odor‐releasing system for multiple odors for virtual‐reality applications.
