Electronic Tongue can identify 14 different types of sweeteners

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a device about the size of a credit card that can ‘taste’ the type of sweetener that is in food or drinks.

It can detect 14 different sweeteners (I can’t even name 6!). While it still takes about 2 minutes for the result, target audiences include diabetics or those watching their sugar intake.
