The Data Pheromone System (情報送信用薬品(データフェロモン) Jōhō Sōshin Yō Yakuhin?, lit. Chemical Information Transmission) is a technological advancement that is designed to use pheromones to send signals.
Principles
It is a system designed to send chemical signals to a receiver without the need of electrical circuits. This achieved via the use of pheromones, similar with ants using pheromones when finding food, to let their companions know of its location. It is unknown how the receiver of the transmission receives the pheremone signal, though it can be assumed that it retains not having any eletrical circuitry as well.[1]
The system was designed as an alternative to electrical transmission in Academy City. The system is apparently weak to heat, like that from a blowdryer.[1]
