Abstract

It is shown experimentally that chemical information can be encoded and preserved in flowing liquid streams. It can be retrieved by chemical sensing arrays using correlation analysis. This finding is important for understanding of the mechanism of chemotaxis as practiced by some aquatic animals and also is a necessary prerequisite for construction of chemical plume tracking robots.
