Australian scientists at the University of New South Wales have developed a method to check if milk is spoiled by using the vibration motor present in every smartphone.
Smartphones are continually being updated with new practical features, and one of the most innovative and useful methods allows you to use your phone to determine whether milk has gone bad.
Researchers in Computer Science and Engineering have recently developed a new smartphone sensor called VibMilk. It uses the gadget’s vibration motor and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to test the freshness of milk without opening the container.
This high-tech method could one day be used to check 20% of dairy products that are currently wasted due to spoiled milk.
Professor Wen Ho said that if milk is in a can, it’s usually necessary to open the package to check it, which can expose it to bacteria and accelerate spoilage.
VibMilk provides a safe alternative, meaning you can check the freshness of milk without opening the can or bottle.
