Is detecting an odor enough to fly to its source? A study of a drone carrying a real silkworm moth antenna shows how an air-intake enclosure and pauses during rotation help it follow an odor.

What happens when the smell of french fries is added to a food-filled VR environment? Around 18% of respondents reported noticing it. A virtual-buffet study explores why simply adding scent does not guarantee that it will register.

A conservation material combines tiny clove-oil capsules with cellulose. A study on simulated palm-leaf manuscripts explores how to retain the oil while reinforcing the leaves.

A prototype uses miniature sensors to read skin volatiles associated with meals and exercise. Explore findings in six people and the challenges for everyday use.

An artificial olfactory system reads curves changing over time, not just response magnitude. Drawing on audio analysis, the study considers everything from sensor fabrication to data standardization.

Fragrance capsule shells must retain their contents and survive until needed. Adding silica to fungal chitosan improved compression strength and fragrance retention in water.

Odorant concentrations in a vial and at an olfactory organ differ. Modeling evaporation and airflow helps compare insect responses with concentrations in nature.

How do electronic states change when odor molecules bind to artificial receptors? MORE-Q provides public quantum-chemical data to support artificial-nose material design.

A study photographs vapor-responsive films with a smartphone to classify perfumes, exploring the sensing principle and its validation from mirror-image molecules to 16 products.

A study comparing molecular representations and learning methods using descriptions of 8,681 molecules explores how to interpret high accuracy, organize odor terminology, and map scents.
