Scientists Send Text Message Using Vodka
Posted on December 22, 2013
York University researchers have sent a text message using vodka. The message, "O Canada," was sent four meters using evaporated vodka with a sprayer and a fan. The scientists picked up the vodka text message with a special receiver that measured the rate of change in concentration of the alcohol molecules.
York University doctoral candidate Nariman Farsad, who led the experiment, said in a statement, "We believe we have sent the world's first text message to be transmitted entirely with molecular communication, controlling concentration levels of the alcohol molecules to encode the alphabet, with single spray representing bits and no spray representing the bit zero."
