AI Cracks the Code of Smell: A New Era in Olfactory Science

  • Wiltschko's team at Osmo created a unique molecule, 533, to digitize smell, revealing the complexity of predicting odors from chemical structures.
  • AI models are now mapping smells, outperforming human noses in predicting odor types, though human expertise remains crucial.
  • Scientists have begun deciphering olfactory receptors, but understanding how the brain processes these signals remains elusive.
  • The goal is to develop digital smell sensors as effective as biological noses, potentially revolutionizing health diagnostics and safety.
