Controversial theory of smell given a boost Humans can smell the difference between ordinary and deuterated organic odorant molecules, according to a new study. Provided that a sufficient number of hydrogen atoms in the molecules are replaced by deuterium, their differing smells are relatively easily detected by most people.   |
