Fred Hapgood has a book out re the joys of engineering called _Up The
Infinite Corridor_.  In the chapter on nanotechnology he mentions a
micromachine with a molecular thread bridging a *very* small gap which
would be useful as an olfactory sensor.  Could be used to detect drugs and
explosives.  

I haven't read the whole book but I think it looks like a cross between
_The Great Mambo Chicken and the Transhuman Condition_ (by the other Ed)
and _The Existential Pleasures of Engineering_.

Fred Hapgood has written on nanotechnology for _Omni_.
