What's in your medicine? Is it time to water your plant? And how many calories are in that extra slice of cake?

SCiO, the first ever pocket-sized molecular scanner, can answer all these questions and more.

Developed by Israeli company Consumer Physics and financed in part by £1.9 million raised on crowdfunding website Kickstarter, the device can reveal the biological make-up of any object.

After a quick scan, the gadget - which cost £10.3 million to develop - sends its findings to your smartphone, instantly revealing the health of your tulips or what kind of wood made your furniture.
