Since Apple doesn't seem to be coming up with anything exciting lately, it's nice to know that others are at work on the next new iThing. Someone has noticed that the cauterization devices that surgeons use put out a little puff of what only be described as smoke from burning tissue. That little puff can be run through a mass spectrometer and analyzed; it may permit surgeons to use real-time analysis to guide their scalpels during cancer surgery.
H/t Rocket Science.

That's a great idea.
Why "Bovie smoke"?
