Milline teadus on ülevate parfüümide  taga? Biofüüsik Luca Turin seletab võluvalt ja üksikasjalikult lõhnade kunsti ning molekulaarset struktuuri.

Luca Turin lõhnade teadusest

Our sense of smell may decode the unique vibrations of molecules, not just their shapes. In an experiment with hundreds of molecules in a single perfume, subtle changes in chemistry created radically different scents, like cut grass or rotten eggs. Traditional shape-based theories struggle to explain these differences, while the vibrational theory offers striking predictions. By harnessing this approach, researchers designed new fragrance molecules in weeks, stunning even skeptical perfumers.
