Luca Turin o znanosti mirisa

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.
