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.
I sue to attend a few spine surgeries everyday. We call it Bovie smoke.
I can tell you that, while I was never actually nauseated, It's an amazing appetite suppressant.
sue = used
Crimony!
Why "Bovie smoke"?
