Stanford's Percy Liang team unveils AromaGen, a system for real-time, general-purpose smell transmission. Like primary colors, it uses a palette of 12 base odors (chosen with perfumers, bakers, and chefs) covering the smell spectrum, from isovaleric acid's sour-cheesy notes to fresh perfume scents. The 12 odor cartridges fit into a wearable necklace (6 per side) that releases timed subsets on command. In blind three-way forced-choice tests across 50 conditions, recipients reliably identified transmitted smells.
